Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trypanosomiasis is a significant disease of man and livestock, and in sub-Saharan Africa is transmitted exclusively by the tsetse fly. Apart from the suffering caused by the disease, trypanosomiasis and its control have many direct and indirect economic consequences. This Bulletin discusses investigations carried out in Zimbabwe and Zambia into the costs of four major techniques used for tsetse control. A methodology for cost comparison based on simple economic models is demonstated. Of interest to planners and resource managers, and all those concerned with trypanosomiasis control and rural development in tsetse-affected areas of Africa.
Download or read book Control and Surveillance of Human African Trypanosomiasis written by and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2013 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides information about new diagnostic approaches, new therapeutic regimens and better understanding of the distribution of the disease with high-quality mapping. The roles of human and animal reservoirs and the tsetse fly vectors that transmit the parasites are emphasized. The new information has formed the basis for an integrated strategy with which it is hoped that elimination of HAT will be achieved. The report also contains recommendations on the approaches that will lead to elimination of the disease. Human African Tryponosomiasis (HAT) is a disease that afflicts populations in rural Africa, where the tsetse fly vector that transmits the causative trypanosome parasites thrives. There are two forms of HAT: one, known as gambiense HAT, is endemic in West and Central Africa and causes over 95% of current cases; the other, known as rhodesiense HAT, is endemic in East and southern Africa and accounts for the remainder of cases. The presence of parasites in the brain leads to progressive neurological breakdown. Changes to sleep-wake patterns are among the symptoms that characterize the disease, also known as "sleeping sickness". Eventually, patients fall into a coma and die if not treated. Different treatments are available against parasites present in the haemolymphatic system (first stage) and those that have entered the brain (second stage). Currently, lumbar puncture is required to select the appropriate drug.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tsetse-transmitted trypanosomiases are diseases of man and his domestic livestock that have contributed to the prevalence of poverty, malnutrition, and disease in much of tropical Africa. Although the human disease has caused considerable suffering and death, it is the disease of domestic livestock which has, in economic terms, had the most profound effects as a major factor restricting rural African development, particularly by limiting food supply and land use. After a general discussion of the disease and its effects, this report describes the problems and techniques of controlling tsetse-transmitted trypanosomiases in the context of rural development in Africa. It also attempts to show that techniques to achieve an effective degree of trypanosomaiasis control, at least in some ecological conditions, already exist and that there is now an urgent need to put them into practice in conjunction with practical land use programmes.

Book excerpt: This state-of-the-art reference book includes comprehensive coverage of the biology and control of African, Asian and South American trypanosomiasis ("sleeping sickness") in man and animals. It describes recent research developments in the biology and molecular biology of trypanosomes (the protozoan parasite) and their vectors, and methods in diagnosis and control, such as trapping tsetse fly vectors. Different sections of the book are devoted to biology of trypanosomes, vector biology, epidemiology and diagnosis, pathogenesis, disease impact, chemotherapy and disease control, and vector control. The book contains contributions from leading experts from Europe, North and South America, and Africa.

Download or read book The African Trypanosomes written by Samuel J. Black and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African trypanosomes are tsetse-transmitted protozoa that inhabit the extracellular compartment of host blood. They cause fatal sleeping sickness in people, and Nagana, a wasting and generally fatal disease, in cattle. While trypanosomes are most common to Africa (about 30% of Africa's cattle graze on the fringe of the tsetse habitat), some species have spread beyond its boarders to Asia, the Middle East and South America. The African Trypanosomes, volume one of World Class Parasites, is written for researchers, students and scholars who enjoy reading research that has a major impact on human health, or agricultural productivity, and against which we have no satisfactory defense. It is intended to supplement more formal texts that cover taxonomy, life cycles, morphology, vector distribution, symptoms and treatment. It integrates vector, pathogen and host biology and celebrates the diversity of approach that comprises modern parasitological research.
