Efficacy of high doses of ivermectin–clorsulon in cattle on Glossina palpalis gambiensis survival and fecundity: implications for human and animal trypanosomoses control

In our experiment, blood meals from cattle treated with an ivermectin-clorsulon formulation significantly reduced tsetse fly survival and fecundity, two key traits influencing vectorial capacity. Thus, treatment of domestic animals with the formulation has the potential to reduce trypanosomes transmission and improve both human and animal health in sub-Saharan Africa.
