Assessment of estimated and perceived risks of trypanosome infection, in the light of possible climate change, for marginalised communities in Tanzania

Monitoring the incidence of human-infective trypanosomiasis in livestock in, and close to, marginalised communities in Zimbabwe

Assessment of the future risk of trypanosomiasis infection in Zimbabwe and Tanzania and ways of alleviating that risk

• Questionnaires, interviews and focus group discussions

• A variety of entomological techniques for indoor and outdoor vector research

• Data collection on T. brucei infections in cattle

• Experiments to measure man-fly contact under different meteorological conditions

• Climate-driven modeling of vector dynamics
