Is total eradication of tsetse flies necessary, possible, environmentally desirable or economically viable?
“History shows us most tsetse control programmes have failed because of reinvasion. I don’t think tsetse will be eradicated in the foreseeable future because of the extent, variety and resilience of tsetse populations, institutional weaknesses and logistic constraints, persistence of tsetse in remote regions and protected areas. Future disease management strategies should encompass a broad range of control options including animal husbandry (avoidance, or reduction of disease transmission), use of veterinary drugs, tsetse control measures and exploitation of natural immunity and trypanotolerance – a very underrated ability that ought to be more widely recognised and promoted.” David Bourn, ERGO, UK “It is the same lesson that the African Heads of State have learned that has led them to decide to go for elimination of the problem. Because the past effort was to just control and control forever. And they said, “Let’s make an effort to give a lasting solution to the problem.” So if there
