Mapping livestock movements in Sahelian Africa [PDF]
Scientific Reports 10, 8339 (2020), 2019 In the dominant livestock systems of Sahelian countries herds have to move across territories. Their mobility is often a source of conflict with farmers in the areas crossed, and helps spread diseases such as Rift Valley Fever. Knowledge of the routes followed by herds is therefore core to guiding the implementation of preventive and control measures ...
