African trypanosomosis (HAT) in humans and ‘nagana’ or African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) in livestock
in Sub-saharan Africa. Many consider HAT as one of the major neglected tropical diseases and
AAT as the single greatest health constraint to increased livestock production. This review provides some
background information on the taxonomy of tsetse flies, their unique way of reproduction (adenotrophic
viviparity) making the adult stage the only one easily accessable for control, and how their ecological
affinities, their distribution and population dynamics influence and dictate control efforts. The paper likewise
reviews four control tactics (sequential aerosol technique, stationary attractive devices, live bait
technique and the sterile insect technique) that are currently accepted as friendly to the environment,
and describes their limitations and advantages and how they can best be put to practise in an IPM context.
The paper discusses the different strategies for tsetse control i.e. localised versus area-wide and
focusses thereafter on the principles of area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) and the
phased-conditional approach with the tsetse project in Senegal as a recent example. We argue that sustainable
tsetse-free zones can be created on Africa mainland provided certain managerial and technical
prerequisites are in place. |
