Tsetse-transmitted trypanosomosis, is widely considered as a major constraint on livestock production and rural development in sub-Saharan Africa. This study conducted in the IGAD region maps the maximum economic gain if losses due to trypanosomosis in cattle were to be removed.

Different approaches to dealing with either tsetse or trypanosomosis would enable some or all of these benefits to be realized, over smaller or larger areas.
