The Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis Information Quarterly has been established to disseminate current information on all aspects of tsetse and trypanosomiasis research and control to institutions and individuals involved in the problems of African trypanosomiasis. This service forms an integral part of the Programme Against African Trypanosomiasis (PAAT) and is jointly sponsored by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resources of the African Union (AU-IBAR), the World Health Organization (WHO), the Research Department for Livestock Production and Veterinary Medicine of the Centre de Coopération Internationale en Recherche Agronomique pour le Développement (CIRAD-EMVT) and the British Government's Department for International Development (DFID).

The quarterly is prepared for publication, in both English and French editions, by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Each annual volume consists of four parts and an index. Subscription is free for all recipients engaged in trypanosomiasis research and control, and requests for enrolment may be sent to: Ms Maria Grazia Solari, AGAH, FAO, Viale delle Terme di Caracalla, 00100 Rome, Italy (fax +39 06 5705 5749; e-mail [email protected]).

Since the value of this information service depends to a great extent on the receipt of relevant material from research workers, campaign planners and organisers and field workers themselves, readers are requested to submit news items and copies of scientific papers and reports to the Editor: Dr John N. Pollock, 25 Palmeira Mansions, Church Road, Hove, East Sussex, BN3 2FA, United Kingdom (tel. +44 1273 326211; e-mail [email protected]).

We regret that we are unable to supply photocopies of the papers quoted in the quarterly.

Distribution dates and copy deadlines

The Index will be distributed as soon as possible after the completion of each volume.
