For at least five decades, tsetse biologists have observed that the populations of some species of tsetse (particularly species in the morsitans group of flies) decline as fly habitat is converted into cultivated land and host populations are decimated by hunting. Some have even suggested that ts...

Herd-to-herd variations in the primary biological impact of an intervention can sometimes be utilised to investigate secondary impacts. This approach has been used in the analysis of the effects of tsetse control on calf live weight gain. Nineteen herds of cattle were monitored in the region of B...

A paper dealing with research conducted to reduce the effect of trypanosomiasis on animal production in Africa. Looks into the African Trypanotolerant livestock Network and discusses the exploitation of trypanotolerant breeds, trypanosome prevalence and animal performance. Also examines specific ...

Trypanosomosis is an endemic disease in cattle in Mukono District in south eastern Uganda. A multi-disciplinary project was formulated in order to better understand the infection dynamics, and drug sensitivities, of the trypanosome parasites prevalent in Mukono, and also to assess the economic im...

The use of baited traps and targets to control the tsetse fly has the potential for successful and sustainable trypanosomiasis control by local communities. However, with community-based programmes, community organisational capacity, incentives needed to initiate and sustain programmes, and intra...

The Disease and Vector Integrated Database (DAVID) is a geographical information system for managing field data on tsetse, trypanosomiasis and livestock. It is used to enter these data in a computer to verify and query the data and to produce output Reports in the form of tables, graphs and maps....

In many african countries where government resources for livestock disease control are declining and donor aid toward the control of tsetse-transmitted trypanosomiasis is less forthcoming, there is an increasing need to identify areas where intervention is most likely to be technically, economica...

The peri-urban dairy production systems in Uganda, located in the subhumid agro-ecological zone with medium rainfall have a high potential for livestock production (Walsche et al., 1991; Winrock, 1992), but medium tsetse challenge and the associated trypanosomiasis risk may adversely affect dairy...

Nineteen herds of cattle (N'Dama, Baoule and Zebu crosses) and 20 flocks of Djallonke and Djallonke x Sahel sheep in the region of Boundiali, northern Cote d'Ivoire, were monitored monthly for body weight, packed red blood cell volume and the presence of trypanosomes in blood over various periods...
