African animal trypanosomiasis constaints the production of milk, meat and animal traction across much of sub-Saharan Africa. The tsetse-transmitted disease is particularly important in Ethiopia where at least six million cattle are exposed to the disease. In 1000 a trypanosomiasis control progra...

Using contingent valuation to assess individuals' willingness to contribute to community-based tsetse control in Busia District, Kenya
While several traps and targets have been developed to suppress the tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) that transmit trypanosomiasis there have been few examples of self-sustaining `community-based' tsetse control programmes using these devices. The prospects for community-based tsetse control is being...
