Tsetse Control and Gambian Sleeping Sickness; Implications for Control Strategy.
Inaki Tirados,Johan Esterhuizen,Vanja Kovacic,T. N. Clement Mangwiro,G. A. Vale,Ian M. Hastings,Philippe Solano,Michael J. Lehane,Steve J. Torr +8 more
TL;DR: The case for adding this method of vector control to case detection and treatment of Gambian sleeping sickness is strong and how such a component could be organised is outlined.
Prospects for the Development of Odour Baits to Control the Tsetse Flies Glossina tachinoides and G. palpalis s.l.
Jean-Baptiste Rayaissé,Inaki Tirados,Dramane Kaba,Sarah Y. Dewhirst,James G. Logan,Abdoulaye Diarrassouba,Ernest Wendemanegde Salou,M O Omolo,Philippe Solano,Michael J. Lehane,John A. Pickett,Glyn A. Vale,Stephen J. Torr,Johan Esterhuizen +13 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that odour-baited traps and insecticide-treated targets could assist the AU-Pan African Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis Eradication Campaign (PATTEC) in its current efforts to monitor and control Palpalis group tsetse in West Africa.

Maurice O. Omolo,Ahmed Hassanali,Serge Mpiana,Johan Esterhuizen,Jenny M. Lindh,Michael J. Lehane,Philippe Solano,Jean Baptiste Rayaisse,Glyn A. Vale,Steve J. Torr,Inaki Tirados +10 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that identifying kairomones present in lizard odour for G. f.
Towards an optimal design of target for tsetse control: comparisons of novel targets for the control of Palpalis group tsetse in West Africa.
Jean Baptiste Rayaisse,Johan Esterhuizen,Inaki Tirados,Dramane Kaba,Ernest Wendemanegde Salou,Abdoulaye Diarrassouba,Glyn A. Vale,Michael J. Lehane,Stephen J. Torr,Philippe Solano +9 more
TL;DR: Studying the visual responses of tsetse to different designs of target has allowed us to design more cost-effective devices for the effective control of sleeping sickness and animal trypanosomiasis in Africa.
Costs of using "tiny targets" to control Glossina fuscipes fuscipes, a vector of gambiense sleeping sickness in Arua District of Uganda.
Alexandra Shaw,Inaki Tirados,Clement T. N. Mangwiro,Johan Esterhuizen,Michael J. Lehane,Stephen J. Torr,Vanja Kovacic +6 more
TL;DR: Comparison with the updated cost of historical HAT vector control projects and recent estimates indicates that this work represents a major reduction in cost levels, attributed not just to the low unit cost of tiny targets but also to the organisation of delivery, using local labour with bicycles or motorcycles.
