Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <bold><italic>Background: </italic></bold>African trypanosomiasis, caused by protozoa of the genus <italic>Trypanosoma</italic> and transmitted by the tsetse fly, is a serious parasitic disease of humans and animals. Reliable data on the vector distribution, feeding preference and the trypanosome species they carry is pertinent to planning sustainable control strategies.<bold><italic>Me...
