TLDR
Results indicate that continuous control activities can be cost-effective in reducing tsetse populations, especially where the creation of fly-free zones is challenging and reinvasion pressure high.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Human African trypanosomiasis
TL;DR: Since patients are also reported from non-endemic countries, human African trypanosomiasis should be considered in differential diagnosis for travellers, tourists, migrants, and expatriates who have visited or lived in endemic areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
More than one rabbit out of the hat: Radiation, transgenic and symbiont-based approaches for sustainable management of mosquito and tsetse fly populations
TL;DR: The integration of the sterile insect technique has proven successful to manage crop pests and disease vectors, particularly tsetse flies, and is likely to prove effective against mosquito vectors,particularly once sex-separation methods are improved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping the economic benefits to livestock keepers from intervening against bovine trypanosomosis in Eastern Africa.
A.P.M. Shaw,Giuliano Cecchi,G.R.W. Wint,Raffaele C. Mattioli,Timothy P. Robinson,Timothy P. Robinson +5 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that the potential benefits from dealing with trypanosomosis in Eastern Africa are both very high and geographically highly variable, with the highest benefit levels occur on the fringes of the tsetse infestations.

Tsetse Control and Gambian Sleeping Sickness; Implications for Control Strategy.
Inaki Tirados,Johan Esterhuizen,Vanja Kovacic,T. N. Clement Mangwiro,G. A. Vale,Ian M. Hastings,Philippe Solano,Michael J. Lehane,Steve J. Torr +8 more
TL;DR: The case for adding this method of vector control to case detection and treatment of Gambian sleeping sickness is strong and how such a component could be organised is outlined.

TL;DR: A PCP for tsetse-transmitted animal trypanosomosis, the scourge of poor livestock keepers in tropical Africa, is outlined, with a mixed-record of success and failure in past efforts.

TL;DR: The apparent density of the indigenous fly population declined rapidly in the last quarter of 1995, followed by a population crash in the beginning of 1996, and time for 6 fly generations elapsed between the last catch of an indigenous fly and the end of the sterile male releases in December 1997.

The Atlas of human African trypanosomiasis: a contribution to global mapping of neglected tropical diseases
Pere P. Simarro,Giuliano Cecchi,Massimo Paone,José R. Franco,Abdoulaye Diarra,Jose Antonio Ruiz,Eric M. Fèvre,Fabrice Courtin,Raffaele C. Mattioli,Jean Jannin +9 more
TL;DR: Although efforts are still needed to reduce the number of undetected and unreported cases, the comprehensive, village-level mapping of HAT control activities over a ten-year period ensures a detailed and reliable representation of the known geographic distribution of the disease.

TL;DR: The presented maps of different HAT risk levels will help to develop site-specific strategies for control and surveillance, and to monitor progress achieved by ongoing efforts aimed at the elimination of sleeping sickness.

Less is more: restricted application of insecticide to cattle to improve the cost and efficacy of tsetse control.
TL;DR: The results suggest that more cost‐effective control of tsetse could be achieved by applying insecticide to the belly and legs of cattle at 2‐week intervals, rather than using the current practice of treating the whole body of each animal at monthly intervals.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of aerial spraying to eliminate tsetse from the Okavango Delta of Botswana
TL;DR: Simulations of t setse populations suggest that while spraying operations can reduce tsetse populations to levels that are difficult to detect by standard survey techniques, such populations will recover to densities >100 tsete/km(2) after 1000 days, at which density there is a very high probability (>0.999) that the survey methods will catch at least one fly.
