SENEGAL circa 1980. Anti-Animal Trypanosomiasis Campaign

ANTI-ANIMAL TRYPANOSOMIASIS CAMPAIGN IN SENEGAL - April 1980 - A group of sprayers disinfesting bushes in a tse-tse infested area near the village of Sanglakam, 40 kms of Dakar.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has assisted the Government of Senegal with a $72,000 project under its Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) aimed at stamping out trypanosomiasis in the area along the Petite Cote of Senegal, from St. Louis to Dakar. FAO's TCP project helped toward the purchase of equipment and chemicals needed to spray plants and bushes against the tse-tse fly, carrier of trypanosomiasis which causes serious losses to cattle. The area had been previously disinfested and was deemed safe for cattle but the reappearance of the tse-tes fly spurred the Government to mount the actual campaign, carried out by the National Laboratory for Cattle Breeding and Veterinary Research in Dakar.
