A mathematical model for evaluating the role of trypanocide treatment of cattle in the epidemiology and control of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and T. b. gambiense sleeping sickness in Uganda

Parasite Epidemiology and Control, 2019
Background: Human and animal African trypanosomiases impose a large economic and health burden in their endemic regions. Large strides have been made in the control of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), yet these efforts have largely focused on the non-

Survey of Smallholder Dairy Cattle Farming System and Antibiotic Residues in Raw Cow's Milk in Bagamoyo District, Tanzania

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Smallholder dairy farmers in Tanzania face livestock disease challenges that drive imprudent antimicrobial use and fuel antimicrobial resistance (AMR). In Bagamoyo, poor husbandry and limited disease control result in high prevalence of vector‐borne infections, commonly treated with oxytetracycline (OTC).

Profiling Major Livestock Diseases in the East Gojjam Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia, Using Participatory Epidemiology Methods

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Participatory epidemiology identified CBPP, LSD, FMD and sheep/goat pox as the major livestock diseases in East Gojjam, Ethiopia, highlighting strong community‐based disease recognition and emphasizing the value of integrating local knowledge into veterinary surveillance and disease control systems.

The natural progression of gambiense sleeping sickness: what is the evidence? [PDF]

, 2008
Gambiense human African trypanosomiasis (HAT, sleeping sickness) is widely assumed to be 100% pathogenic and fatal. However, reports to the contrary exist, and human trypano-tolerance has been postulated.

Host genetics in African trypanosomiasis

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2008
In Africa, the protozoan parasite of the genus Trypanosoma causes animal (AAT) and human African trypanosomiasis (HAT). These diseases are responsible for considerable mortality and economic losses, and until now the drugs commonly used have often been very toxic and expensive, with no vaccine available.

The use of Multiple Displacement Amplification to increase the detection and genotyping of Trypanosoma samples immobilised on FTA filters. [PDF]

, 2007
Whole genome amplification methods are a recently developed tool for amplifying DNA from limited template. We report its application in trypanosome infections, characterized by low parasitemias.

Bovines, buffers and barriers: A social scientific perspective on rewilding in the Kavango‐Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
Rewilding is often summarized with the three C's of Carnivores, Cores and Corridors. In this essay we propose a complementary perspective that focuses on the three B's of Bovines, Buffers and Barriers. This complementary perspective draws attention to rewilding as a social (rather than only ecological) challenge and is illustrated with insights from ...
