Assessment of the socio-economic factors affecting implementation of community-based tsetse control in Busia, Kenya por Kamara, D., Echessah, P., Swallow, B.M., Curry, J.

“…Findings to date indicate the existence of a complex set of linkages between human health and animal trypanosomiasis and human health, subsistence and nutrition, resulting in multiple social and biological impacts on local populations. Various factors including ownership and use of livestock, beliefs and attitudes concerning trypanosomiasis, and the length and degree of exposure to the disease and control programmes appear to be important determinants of the willingness of both the communities and individuals to participate in control activities.…”
