| field detection of resistance to isometamidium chloride and diminazene aceturate in trypanosoma vivax from the region of the boucle du mouhoun in burkina faso. | a longitudinal study assessed the chemoresistance to isometamidium chloride (ism) and diminazene aceturate (da) in the region of the boucle du mouhoun in burkina faso. a preliminary cross-sectional survey allowed the identification of the 10 villages with the highest parasitological prevalences (from 2.1% to 16.1%). in each of these 10 villages, two herds of approximately 50 bovines were selected, one being treated with ism (1mg/kg b.w.) and the other remaining untreated as control group. all an ... | 2011 | 22264748 |
| spatio-temporal distribution of tsetse and other biting flies in the mouhoun river basin, burkina faso. | in the mouhoun river basin, burkina faso, the main vectors of african animal trypanosomoses are glossina palpalis gambiensis vanderplank and glossina tachinoides westwood (diptera: glossinidae), both of which are riverine tsetse species. the aim of our study was to understand the impact of landscape anthropogenic changes on the seasonal dynamics of vectors and associated trypanosomosis risk. three sites were selected on the basis of the level of disturbance of tsetse habitats and predominant tse ... | 2010 | 21198714 |
| [impact of the dynamics of human settlement on tsetse and trypanosomosis distribution in the mouhoun river basin (burkina faso)]. | in burkina faso, the mouhoun river basin (formerly "black volta") constitutes a historical focus of human (hat) and animal (aat) african trypanosomoses, both transmitted by tsetse flies. nowadays, hat seems to have disappeared from this area, while aat still causes severe economic losses. in order to explain these different epidemiological situations, we undertook a geographical study based on the analysis of aerial pictures between 1952 and 2007, and field surveys to collect medical, entomologi ... | 2009 | 19353947 |
| mapping african animal trypanosomosis risk from the sky. | in burkina faso, african animal trypanosomosis (aat) is still a major hindrance to cattle breeding, especially in the mouhoun river basin, which was identified as a priority area for tsetse control. the attempt of the present work was to assess the abundance of tsetse flies and aat risk using remote sensing coupled to field environmental data, along a mouhoun river section of 234 km long, harbouring an open riverine forest where g. tachinoides westwood is the predominant tsetse species. the wate ... | 2006 | 16777035 |
