    Las plagas emergentes constituyen una seria amenaza para la agricultura en los países de América Latina y el Caribe, ya que los agricultores y las instituciones ven limitada su capacidad de respuesta debido a las características de este tipo de amenazas dichas plagas comprometen los medios de vida y afectan en mayor medida a pequeños agricultores familiares para los cuáles el incremento en los costos de producción y/o la introducción de cambios en sus sistemas productivos suele ser más difícil de asimilar Este sector se ha visto amenazado especialmente por la diseminación de la enfermedad de Huanglongbing ( de los cítricos su agente causal es el género bacteriano Candidatus Liberibacter y su principal forma de dispersión es a través de dos vectores Diaphorina citri Kuwayama y Trioza erytreae y a través de material vegetativo contaminado Hasta la fecha no se conoce manejo eficaz de la enfermedad El HLB provoca pérdidas directas en el rendimiento, volumen y valor de la producción con consecuencias negativas económicas, sociales y ambientales.

    Vector-borne diseases affecting livestock have serious impacts in Africa. Trypanosomosis is caused by parasites transmitted by tsetse flies and other blood-sucking Diptera. The animal form of the disease is a scourge for African livestock keepers, is already present in Latin America and Asia, and has the potential to spread further. A human form of the disease also exists, known as human African trypanosomosis or sleeping sickness. Controlling and progressively minimizing the burden of animal trypanosomosis (COMBAT) is a fouryear research and innovation project funded by the European Commission, whose ultimate goal is to reduce the burden of animal trypanosomosis (AT) in Africa. The project builds on the progressive control pathway (PCP), a risk-based, step-wise approach to disease reduction or elimination. COMBAT will strengthen AT control and prevention by improving basic knowledge of AT, developing innovative control tools, reinforcing surveillance, rationalizing control strategies, building capacity, and raising awareness. Knowledge gaps on disease epidemiology, vector ecology and competence, and biological aspects of trypanotolerant livestock will be addressed. Environmentally friendly vector control technologies and more effective and adapted diagnostic tools will be developed. Surveillance will be enhanced by developing information systems, strengthening reporting, and mapping and modelling disease risk in Africa and beyond. The socio-economic burden of AT will be assessed at a range of geographical scales. Guidelines for the PCP and harmonized national control strategies and roadmaps will be developed. Gender equality and ethics will be pivotal in all project activities. The COMBAT project benefits from the expertise of African and European research institutions, national veterinary authorities, and international organizations. The project consortium comprises 21 participants, including a geographically balanced representation from 13 African countries, and it will engage a larger number of AT-affected countries through regional initiatives.
