TL;DR: It is argued that sustainable tsetse-free zones can be created on Africa mainland provided certain managerial and technical prerequisites are in place and the principles of area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) and the phased-conditional approach with the tsete project in Senegal as a recent example are argued.

TL;DR: It is argued that the methodology developed should be integrated into future tsetse control efforts that are planned under the umbrella of the PATTEC initiative and have a generic value for vector and pest control campaigns, especially when eradication is contemplated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used population genetics to measure genetic differentiation between Glossina palpalis gambiensis from the Niayes and those from the southern tsetse belt (Missira).

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 benefit-cost analysis indicated that the tsetse elimination project in Senegal was highly cost-effective, with Internal Rates of Return (IRR) of 9.8% and 19.1% and payback periods of 18 and 13 years for the two scenarios, respectively.
