Bovine and small ruminant African animal trypanosomiasis in Nigeria - A review.

Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports, 2018
Despite extensive attempts over many decades to control African Animal Trypanosomiasis (AAT) across the tsetse fly belt of Nigeria, AAT persists as major animal health problem causing severe morbidity and mortality in livestock. The large agricultural losses in turn have severe adverse impacts on sustainable agricultural development.

Combatting African Animal Trypanosomiasis (AAT) in livestock: The potential role of trypanotolerance. [PDF]

Veterinary Parasitology, 2016
African Animal Trypanosomiasis (AAT) is endemic in at least 37 of the 54 countries in Africa. It is estimated to cause direct and indirect losses to the livestock production industry in excess of US$ 4.5 billion per annum. A century of intervention has yielded limited success, owing largely to the extraordinary complexity of the host-parasite ...
