Summary

The presence of tsetse and trypanosomiasis (T & T) in vast areas of sub-Saharan Africa is a major constraint to livestock-agricultural development. However, the impact of the disease varies with and between countries, regions and agro-ecological zones. Therefore, prior to any intervention it is essential to evaluate the profitability of different approaches towards controlling the vector and/or the disease in each individual project or zone. This ensures that a project is assessed on its own merits and not merely on its possible technical contribution to a potential continent-wide program.--Publisher's description.
