An atlas of tsetse and animal African trypanosomiasis in Zimbabwe. [PDF]

Parasit Vectors, 2021
Background In the 1980s and 1990s, great strides were taken towards the elimination of tsetse and animal African trypanosomiasis (AAT) in Zimbabwe. However, advances in recent years have been limited.

Assessment of animal African trypanosomiasis (AAT) vulnerability in cattle-owning communities of sub-Saharan Africa. [PDF]

Parasit Vectors, 2016
Animal African trypanosomiasis (AAT) is one of the biggest constraints to livestock production and a threat to food security in sub-Saharan Africa. In order to optimise the allocation of resources for AAT control, decision makers need to target geographic areas where control programmes are most likely to be successful and sustainable and select control

Past and Ongoing Tsetse and Animal Trypanosomiasis Control Operations in Five African Countries: A Systematic Review. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
BackgroundControl operations targeting Animal African Trypanosomiasis and its primary vector, the tsetse, were covering approximately 128,000 km2 of Africa in 2001, which is a mere 1.3% of the tsetse infested area.

Improvements on restricted insecticide application protocol for control of Human and Animal African Trypanosomiasis in eastern Uganda. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2014
African trypanosomes constrain livestock and human health in Sub-Saharan Africa, and aggravate poverty and hunger of these otherwise largely livestock-keeping communities. To solve this, there is need to develop and use effective and cheap tsetse control methods.

The Transmission of Animal African Trypanosomiasis in Two Districts in the Forest Zone of Ghana. [PDF]

Am J Trop Med Hyg
ABSTRACT. Animal African trypanosomiasis, also known as nagana, is caused by Trypanosoma species, which cause significant clinical diseases and lead to losses in animal production. We carried out a cross-sectional survey to investigate the composition of vectors and parasite diversity in two districts in the eastern region of Ghana where pigs and ...

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Tsetse-transmitted African trypanosomes cause both nagana (African animal Trypanosomiasis-AAT) and sleeping sickness (human African Trypanosomiasis - HAT) across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Spatial distribution of African Animal Trypanosomiasis in Suba and Teso districts in Western Kenya [PDF]

BMC Research Notes, 2010
Los estudios sobre la epidemiología de la tripanosomiasis animal africana (AAT) rara vez consideran la dimensión espacial de la prevalencia de la enfermedad. Este problema se confunde con el uso de métodos de diagnóstico parasitológicos de baja sensibilidad en estudios de campo.

Challenges facing the elimination of sleeping sickness in west and central Africa: sustainable control of animal trypanosomiasis as an indispensable approach to achieve the goal [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
African trypanosomiases are infectious diseases caused by trypanosomes. African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT) remains an important threat for livestock production in some affected areas whereas human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is targeted for ...
