A meta-analysis of the prevalence of African animal trypanosomiasis in Nigeria from 1960 to 2017. [PDF]

Parasit Vectors, 2018
African animal trypanosomiasis is an economically significant disease that affects the livestock industry in Nigeria. It is caused by several parasites of the genus Trypanosoma. National estimates of the disease prevalence in livestock and tsetse flies are lacking, therefore a systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to understand the trend ...

An evaluation of African animal trypanosomiasis control strategies in remote communities of Eastern Zambia. [PDF]

Parasitology
AbstractCommunities living in African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT) endemic areas of Zambia use several control strategies to protect their livestock from the devastating effects of trypanosomiasis. Several studies have reported the effectiveness of trypanosomiasis control strategies based on retrospective data.
