Impact of a national tsetse control programme to eliminate Gambian sleeping sickness in Uganda: a spatiotemporal modelling study
In Uganda, Tiny Targets reduced the abundance of <i>G. f. fuscipes</i> and maintained tsetse populations at low levels. Our model represents the first spatiotemporal geostatistical model investigating the effects of a national tsetse control programme. The outputs provide important data for informing next steps for vector control and surveillance.
