New Treatment Slows an Epidemic of Sleeping Sickness
Cases of the disease declined among Ugandans after researchers began treating cattle.
"The
animals’ ears were also sprayed, a “bit of sleight-of-hand” that
persuaded reluctant farmers to cooperate, Dr. Welburn said. Because
African cattle infected with the parasites do not get sleeping sickness,
few farmers would make extra efforts to stamp them out, she said.
But the ears are full of ticks, and cattle do die of tick-borne diseases like East Coast fever.
Farmers were willing to herd their cows to spray stations to prevent
that. “A farmer is a farmer — it’s business,” Dr. Welburn said." 19
