Links between sleeping sickness and natural resource endowments and use : what can communities do?; final narrative report

International Livestock Research InstituteMcDermott, J.2007-11-132004-06-092007-11-132003http://hdl.handle.net/10625/27476This report details the project which addressed community-based and research strategies for the control of rhodesiense sleeping sickness (trypanosomiasis) in south-eastern Uganda. The risk for human and animal trypanosomiasis varied by natural resource type. Communities did not propose specific natural resource management measures for trypanosomiasis control but recognized some natural resource risk factors. Cattle are the main reservoir for sleeping sickness and have a very high prevalence of long duration infections in high-risk villages. As the project evolved the emphasis of communities was on broader health and agriculture issues.Text1 v.
