Collection of Entomological Baseline Data for Tsetse Area-wide Integrated Pest Management Programmes
2009
Area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) entails the integration of different control tactics against an entire pest population within a circumscribed area, while given adequate attention to human health and the environment. For most insect pests including tsetse, AW-IPM results in more sustainable pest control and the concept has gained significantly in importance in the last decade.

On Target against Poverty. The Programme Against African Trypanosomiasis (PAAT)
2008
the mid- 990s marked a bleak period in the history of the battle against trypanosomiasis and its vector, the tsetse fly. in many african countries, dedicated tsetse control units found themselves facing dwindling resources and reduced donor support, often losing their separate status within the government ministries responsible for agriculture and livestock production.
Mapping the benefits: developing a new decision tool for tsetse and trypanosomosis interventions
2006
The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of linking quantitative economic variables to a geographical information system (GIS) spatial framework in order to provide new insights and reinforce the decision-making process for tsetse and trypanosomiasis (T&T) interventions.
Assessment of priority areas for trypanosomiasis control actions by satellite data and fuzzy logic - Pilot study In Togo
2001
This series, produced by the FAO Environment and Natural Resources Service, is intended for decision-makers such as heads and division directors of national and international organizations and administrations, as well as for project managers, planners and policy-makers of development institutions.
Consultants’ report: predicted distributions of tsetse in Africa
2000
The tsetse fly (genus Glossina) is found throughout the continent of Africa and is the primary vector of human and animal sleeping sickness. It is of substantial significance to human health and, through its impact on livestock, the economic welfare of rural farmers and stockowners.
A systematic approach to tsetse and trypanosomiasis control
1994
The Panels of Experts to the FAO Programme for the Control of African Animal Trypanosomiasis and Related Development met in Rome from 1 to 3 December, 1993, to advise the Organisation on Technical, Ecological and Development aspects. The working papers produced by individual experts formed the basis for deliberation.
Programme for the control of African animal trypanosomiasis and related development
1991
Animal trypanosomiases are serious diseases of livestock in many parts of the tropics and sub-tropics. In Africa they assume a continental dimension, since the causative parasites are cyclically transmitted by tsetse flies, which infest some 10 million km2 south of the Sahara. In other parts of the world the transmission of trypanosomes pathogenic to animals is believed to be non-cyclical, or mechanical, and is effected mainly by blood-sucking arthropods.
