Article Synopsis
- Ethiopia faces significant challenges with trypanosomosis due to its large cattle population and tsetse fly infestations, prompting the creation of a national atlas by NICETT to map the disease and vector distribution.
- Data collected from 2010 to 2019 revealed that 86% of surveyed districts had African animal trypanosomosis (AAT), with an overall prevalence of 4.8% in cattle, predominantly caused by Trypanosoma congolense and Trypanosoma vivax.
- The atlas serves as a crucial reference for monitoring and controlling tsetse flies and trypanosomosis, highlighting the geographic spread of various tsetse species and their densities across different Ethiopian regions
