WT FRAGFLY
FRAGFLY project
The FRAGFLY project is supported by the Wellcome Trust fundation. It is managed by scientists from France, Belgium, United Kingdom, Zambia, Burkina Faso and South Africa.
This project is a research project on animal trypanosomosis in Africa. It aims to provide a description of changes in the distribution and density of tsetse as a result of human encroachment and its repercussions on the epidemiology and control of the disease. Remote sensing and spatial analysis are used to predict the presence and abundance/prevalence of both tsetse flies and trypanosomosis according to landscape and degree of habitat fragmentation.
