Epidemiology and control of cattle trypanosomosis in villages under risk of trypanocide resistance in West Africa. by Grace, Delia

“…Three strategies were evaluated for trypanosomosis management: participatory vector control in eight villages, keeping trypanotolerant cattle in 65 villages and rational drug use (RDU); the latter by informing farmers in 46 villages, establishing/evaluating primary health services in 18 villages and training service providers who covered 235 villages. A dynamic mathematical model was developed to elucidate development and reversal of trypanocide resistance. …”
