Economic impact of theileriosis and its control in Africa por Drucker, Adam G.

“…Nevertheless, despite the importance of the economics of AnGR conservation and sustainable use, the subject has only recently begun to receive attention, despite the existence of a conceptual framework for the valuation of biodiversity in general. Having described the theoretical background and the difficulties involved in carrying out this type of economic analysis, this paper summarises the results of a range of economics of AnGR studies recently carried out in Africa, Latin America and Europe. …”
