註釋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.
