Evaluating paratransgenesis as a potential control strategy for African trypanosomiasis. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013 Genetic-modification strategies are currently being developed to reduce the transmission of vector-borne diseases, including African trypanosomiasis. For tsetse, the vector of African trypanosomiasis, a paratransgenic strategy is being considered: this ...

Epidemiology and Economic Importance of African Animal Trypanosomiasis
, 2021 African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT), also called Nagana, is a vector-borne parasitic disease caused by an extracellular protozoan belonging to the genus Trypanosoma. It has serious effects on the health status and welfare of domestic mammals which considerably results in a reduction in their productivity.

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 ...
