    Mapping the benefits: developing a new decision tool for tsetse and trypanosomiasis interventions 2004
    Also available in:

    The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of linking quantitative economic variables to a geographical information system (GIS) spatial framework in order to provide new insights and reinforce the decision-making process for tsetse and trypanosomiasis (T&T) interventions. Hitherto, GIS studies have mapped a series of ecological, demographic and socio-economic indicators, but have stopped short of mapping the distribution of a derived measure quantified in monet ary units. Furthermore, the economic aspects of T&T control have historically been dealt with separately from their other effects, with results usually expressed in terms of benefit–cost ratios or extra income per head of livestock. Even when they have been expressed in terms of dollars per square kilometre these results have not been mapped; instead they have been used as inputs for benefit–cost type analyses. In contrast, our approach combines – for the first time – economic he rd models with mapping of both breed/production systems and the expansion of livestock populations under various scenarios.

    Mapping the benefit-cost ratios of interventions against bovine trypanosomosis in Eastern Africa 2015
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    This study builds upon earlier work mapping the potential benefits from bovine trypanosomosis control and analysing the costs of different approaches. Updated costs were derived for five intervention techniques: trypanocides, targets, insecticide-treated cattle, aerial spraying and the release of sterile males. Two strategies were considered: continuous control and elimination. For mapping the costs, cattle densities, environmental constraints, and the presence of savannah or riverine tsetse spe cies were taken into account. These were combined with maps of potential benefits to produce maps of benefit-cost ratios. Author’s Accepted Manuscript, published with permission.
