Application of Geographic Information Systems in agriculture: A case study on Development of a forecast model for strategic control of ruminant liver fluke disease in Ethiopia
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....
This paper anlayses the decision making process for trypanosomiasis control, describes some of the tools available to assist with decision making and concludes by discussing some opportunities for the future. Levels of decision making and examples of the stakeholders, the types of decisions made ...
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...
