Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis Control: A Strategy for the Future in Africa

摘要

Twenty-two species of tsetse fly and at least six species of trypanosomes are known to transmit sleeping sickness to man and trypanosimiasis to livestock, especially on the African continent. Out of desire to control tsetse vectors in furtherance of African development, a task force of experts was organized to provide counsel to A.I.D. on appropriate research and action. This report presents their findings, and recommendations.
