Descripción

Tsetse-transmitted trypanosomiasis remains a major constraint to livestock and agricultural development in large tracts of sub-Saharan Africa. A wide range of methods to reduce the impact of the disease have been developed. However, the application of each of these methods has limitations, and no single technique is powerful enough to sustain freedom from disease across different agro-ecological conditions and farming systems.
