| Abstract: | African animal trypanosomiasis constrains the production of milk, meat and animal traction across much of sub-Saharan Africa. The tsetse-transmitted disease is particularly important in Ethiopia where at least six million cattle are exposed to the disease. In 1990 a trypanosomiasis control programme that used baited targets to kill tsetse flies was initiated in a case-study area in southwest Ethiopia. Major reductions in the density of tsetse flies and the prevalence of trypanosomiasis in cattle achieved during the first year were spoiled by the theft of a large number of the targets. |
