Science for Development: Tales from Africa, Integrated Control of Animal and Human Sleeping Sickness

On 20 March, the EuropeAid Infopoint organised a conference on the novel tsetse repllent technology developed with European Union (EU) funding and available in 10 African countries thanks to a public-private partnership. 

Its integrated use with other tsetse and disease control tactics is proposed and its potential to control vectors of human sleeping sickness and camel trypanosomiasis will be exploited.
