TL;DR: The present paper focuses on the methodology to assemble a dynamic database of AAT, which hinges on herd-level prevalence data as estimated using various diagnostic techniques, and a variety of information layers will inform decisions on the most appropriate, site-specific strategies for intervention against AAT.

TL;DR: A PCA is presented to test the SIT against mosquitoes within an area-wide-integrated pest-management programme, taking into account the experience gained with plant and livestock pests and the recent developments of the technique against mosquitoes.

TL;DR: A methodology was developed to assemble a geo-spatial database on the occurrence, apparent density and trypanosomal infection of Glossina species, which will enable continental maps to be generated and is suitable for broad brush mapping of all tsetse species of medical and veterinary public health importance.

TL;DR: A stratified entomological sampling strategy was developed using spatial analytical tools and mathematical modeling to improve the accuracy and the robustness of the sampling protocol and might be used for other vector or pest control scenarios.

TL;DR: The sterile insect technique (SIT) and its derivative, inherited sterility (IS), are, together with mating disruption and granulosis virus, among the options that offer great potential as cost‐effective additions to available control tactics for integration in area‐wide integrated pest‐management approaches.
