Socio-Economic and Agricultural Factor In Control of Trypanosomiasis in Nigeria A Review
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Trypanosomiasis is a widespread disease in the middle belt states and southern part of Nigeria. Socio-economic activities such as herding, fishing, crop-rotation, collection of fire wood predisposed inhabitant to the disease. A good knowledge and understanding of tsetse dynamics, its habitats, routes of infection parasite life cycle, and available control methods forms an important background in decision making processes within the community and government agencies for successful tsetse and trypanosomiasis control. Biological control using sterile insect technique (SIT), chemotheraphy using trypanocidal drugs, vector control methods through ground and aerial spraying of insecticides, used of trypanotolerant livestock and cultural methods which include shifting cultivation and bush fallow.
