Synopsis (short abstract) African animal trypanosomosis (AAT), or nagana, is widespread within the tsetse-infested belt of sub-Saharan Africa. Although a wealth of information on its occurrence and prevalence is available in the literature, synthesized and harmonized data at the regional and continental scales are lacking. To fill this gap the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) launched the Atlas of tsetse and AAT, jointly implemented with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) i n the framework of the Programme Against African Trypanosomosis (PAAT).

    Supporting the Progressive Control of Tsetse-transmitted Trypanosomosis in sub-Saharan Africa - GCP/RAF/502/ITA 2019
    Also available in:
    Tsetse-transmitted trypanosomosisis a parasitic disease affecting both animals and humans. Because of its severe impact on livestock, it also hinders crop-livestock mixed farming in vast areas of sub-Saharan Africa, and is a major constraint to food security. On account of the complexities and challenges inherent in the planning and execution of national and multinational interventions against African trypanosomosis, FAO recognized the need to strengthen its technical assistance to affected countries, which was delivered through the first phase of this project between November 2012 and December 2015. The second phase aimed to consolidate and scale up the achievements of the first phase, especially by building on strengthened capacities. In addition, it enabled the experiences gained to be scaled out by disseminating the innovative methodologies to a larger number of affected countries and stakeholders. The project was implemented in the framework of the Programme Against African Trypanosomosis(PAAT).
