DocumentMatching land cover and tsetse habitat 2013
Also available in:
No results found.The present study explores the relationship between tsetse vegetation types and standardized land cover datasets, produced in compliance with the Land Cover Classification System (LCCS). The analysis at continental level uses coarse resolution datasets (1-5 km) to explore the broad patterns of the association between tsetse fly and land cover. At a higher resolution, the customization of national maps of land cover of eight tsetse infested East African countries (FAO - Africover) provides va luable input to support the planning and implementation of trypanosomiasis control interventions. -

No results found.The habitat of tsetse fly (Glossina spp.) depends upon climatic conditions, host availability and land cover characteristics. In this paper, the Land Cover Classification System (LCCS), developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), is proposed as a tool to harmonize land cover mapping exercises carried out in the context of tsetse and trypanosomiasis (T&T) research and control. Habitat modifications are increasingly indu ced by human actions, either at a global scale, as in the case of climatic change, or at a local scale, as in the processes of urbanization and agricultural expansion. The challenges posed in the future by trypanosomiasis are likely to be shaped by those factors to the extent that no appropriate intervention can possibly be contemplated without considering them. -
