Towards an early warning system for Rhodesian sleeping sickness in savannah areas: man-like traps for tsetse flies.

BACKGROUND: In the savannahs of East and Southern Africa, tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) transmit Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense which causes Rhodesian sleeping sickness, the zoonotic form of human African trypanosomiasis. The flies feed mainly on wild and domestic animals and are usually repelled by...
