Community acceptance of tsetse control baits: a qualitative study in Arua District, North West Uganda.

Community acceptance of tsetse control baits: a qualitative study in Arua District, North West Uganda.

BACKGROUND: There is renewed vigour in efforts to eliminate neglected tropical diseases including sleeping sickness (human African trypanosomiasis or HAT), including attempts to develop more cost-effective methods of tsetse control. In the West Nile region of Uganda, newly designed insecticide-treat...
