African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT) remain one of the major constraints to livestock development in sub-Saharan Africa. This study was conducted in March 2013 in 5 areas corresponding to the cantons (Boulohou, Djarkpanga, Kangnigbara, Saiboude and Tindjassi) of the Plain Mô located in the Central...

Three applications of flumethrin significantly reduced the incidence of infection with Trypanosoma vivax and T. congolense in cattle, despite the absence of any barriers.

Information is given on the distribution in southern Togo of livestock trypanosomiases (mainly Trypanosoma congolense and T. vivax) and their vectors, including Glossina tachinoides, G. palpalis palpalis, G. longipalpis, G. morsitans submorsitans and 14 species of Tabanidae.

The efficacy of Butox N.D. in the control of tsetse flies (Glossina morsitans submorsitans and G. tachinoides) in the cattle-rearing area of the Adamaoua Plateau, Cameroon, was tested. Two groups of 85 zebu were bathed in a solution of Butox N.D. at 50 g a.i./litre and redipped 2-weekly during 17...

Groups of Zebu and Ndama cattle were maintained in a village in Senegambia where Glossina morsitans submorsitans Newst. and G. palpalis gambiensis Vanderplank, the vectors of Trypanosoma spp., usually occur. Parasitaemia was always more intensive in the Zebu than the N'dama cattle. The infections...

It was found in investigations in Senegal in 1974-76 on the effects of a period of drought on the distribution and numbers of Glossina spp. that populations in Casamance had not undergone major changes in distribution. Populations of G. palpalis gambiensis Vanderplank and G. morsitans submorsitans...

In general, species of Glossina and their distribution in Casamance, Senegal, in 1974-76 were not greatly affected by the long period of drought in 1971-74 [see preceding abstract]. It was confirmed in 1974 that G. morsitans submorsitans Newst. predominated in Haute-Casamance. The predominance of...

Twenty zebu and 25 Ndama and 4 zebu-Ndama crossbred cattle, bought in an area free of trypanosomiasis, were grazed for 8 months in an area of Senegal heavily infested with Glossina morsitans submorsitans and G. palpalis gambiensis carrying Trypanosoma vivax and T. congolense. One infection with T....

A review is presented of the incidence and control of trypanosomiases of livestock (especially cattle) caused by Trypanosoma congolense, T. vivax, T. brucei and (in camels) T. evansi in Chad in 1971-75. The topics discussed include the part played as vectors in relation to their geographical...

The distribution and ecology of tsetse flies in Senegal [cf. RAE/B 58, 121] is discussed and shown on a map, mainly on the basis of surveys made between 1965 and 1968. Glossina morsitans submorsitans Newst. is widespread in woodland and savanna woodland in the south and east of the country but...
