A tsetse control campaign using an insecticidal cypermethrin "pour-on" applied monthly to village Zebu cattle in Ghibe in southwest Ethiopia has been in operation for over six years. For four of these years farmers have paid a cost-recovery price for each animal given treatment. Relative densitie...

Dot-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (dot-ELISA), developed for the detection and identification of trypanosome species in tsetse flies, was validated in the laboratory by comparing its sensitivity to that of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Tsetse flies were experimentally infected with dif...

Since April 1990 a tsetse control experiment with the synthetic pyrethroid Ectopour has been conducted in the Gullele-Tolley area of the Ghibe Valley, southwest Ethiopia. Monthly applications of the pour-on were given to about 2,000 cattle between April 1991 and July 1992 and about 3,000 cattle b...
Tsetse control programme using traps, targets and trypanocide pour-on in Sissili, agro-pastoral zone of Burkina Faso, started in 1994 after an epidemics of animal trypanosomiasis which has destroyed almost 70 percent of cattle population. This area has been occupied by Fulani pastorlists of a gov...

A tsetse control experiment with 500 deltamethrin-impregnated targets was initiated in the Ghibe Valley, south-west Ethiopia, in April 1990. The theft of a large number of targets following the socio-political disturbances of May 1991 spoiled major reductions in tsetse density and trypanosome pre...

It has been hypothesized that the presence of the tsetse fly has protected the biological diversity of the African continent by preventing over-use of ecosystems by people and their livestock. Our objective was to evaluate how changes in land-use, a likely impact of tsetse control, affect selecte...

Animal trypanosomosis is particularly important in Ethipia where 7-10 million cattle are at risk. A geo-referenced census of over 5000 households was conducted between March and July 1996 to better understand factors affecting demand of the a cypermethrin pour-ons used since January 1991 to contr...
