TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a bottom-up or predictive risk assessment approach, starting from exposure and dose-response data, to generate estimates of the health and economic impacts of the concerned hazards.

TL;DR: Whether nutritional stress affects the ability of tsetse flies to develop human pathogenic trypanosome species, and the effects of seasonal climatic changes on the nutritional status and immune peptide expression in field-caught t setse flies are investigated to determine whether changes in environmental conditions affect the try panosome transmission dynamics in the field.
