Synopsis (short abstract) African animal trypanosomiasis affects the entire economy of livestock-agricultural production in vast zones of tsetse-infested areas. The presence of the diasease influences where people decide to live and the management of their livestock. Trypanosomiasis has, therefore, cultural and socio-economic implications on teh day-to-day life of the rural comunities of affected areas. In the past, cultural and socio-economic factors were not duly considered and incorporated as integral parts of a tsets e and trypanosomiasis (T&T) intervention programme. Nowadays, planners, policy-and-decision makers have realized that the research and control of T&T need to embrace the understanding the socio-economic and cultural impacts of of the disease.

The presence of tsetse and trypanosomiasis (T&T) in vast areas of sub-Saharan Africa is a major constraint to livestock-agricultural development. However, the impact of the disease varies with and between countries, regions and agro-ecological zones. Therefore, prior to any intervention it is essential to evaluate the profitability of different approaches towards controlling the vector and/or the disease in each individual project or zone. This ensures that a project is assessed on its own merit s and not merely on its possible technical contribution to a potential continent-wide programme.
