经济分析可以帮助理解决定西非棉区养牛农民控制锥虫病成功的因素。锥虫是最广泛使用的控制方法，确定其短期和长期生产力提供了重要信息。然而，这必须根据正在出现的耐药性来解释，耐药性对药物使用的可持续性构成重大障碍。更一般地说，这项研究的目的是推进在西非牛生产的动物疾病控制投入的生产力的测量方法。该研究包括对村庄条件下的杀锥虫药物生产力和锥虫病成本进行经验评估。该分析被扩展到捕捉锥虫对药物的敏感性下降对贫困养牛户生计的影响。这项研究的结果可以帮助决策者制定战略，以改善锥虫病和杀锥虫药耐药性的管理。这项研究于2003年6月至2004年5月在布基纳法索和马里进行。由兽医流行病学家、技术人员和农业经济学家组成的小组收集了数据。在12个月的时间里，总共监测了18个村庄的206个牛群，共计3565头牛。输入和输出数据由派驻村庄的调查员收集，在整个研究期间对村庄的流行病学状况进行了评估。在当地市场、屠宰场和通过焦点小组讨论收集了更多的价格信息。结果发现，马里和布基纳法索都很重视养牛，但马里的牛群规模较大。与撒哈拉以南非洲其他地区相比，研究地区的畜群规模较小，而耕畜与成年公牛的比例较高，特别是在布基纳法索，这表明农业系统更倾向于在作物生产中密集使用耕畜。研究地区的大多数养牛户认为锥虫病是最重要的牛疾病，与撒哈拉以南非洲其他地区相比，研究区对锥虫病病因的了解相对较高。农民知道许多控制疾病的策略。然而，他们的首选策略是使用杀锥虫药物，大多数治疗是由养牛户提供的，尽管这是不法律的。
Economic analysis can assist in the understanding of the factors that determine the success of trypanosomosis control by cattle farmers in the cotton zone of West Africa. Trypanocides are the most widely used method of control, and determining their shortand long-term productivity provides important information. However, this must be interpreted in the light of emerging drug resistance, which poses a major obstacle to the sustainability of drug use. More generally, this research aims to advance the methodology of measuring the productivity of animal disease control inputs in West African cattle production. The study includes an empirical assessment of the productivity of trypanocidal drugs and the costs of trypanosomosis under village conditions. The analysis was extended to capture the implications for the livelihood of the poor cattle farmers of a declining susceptibility of trypanosomes to drugs. The results of this research can help decision-makers to put in place strategies for improved management of trypanosomosis and trypanocidal drug resistance. The study was conducted in Burkina Faso and Mali from June 2003 to May 2004. Data were collected by a team of veterinary epidemiologists, technicians and agro-economists. In all, 206 herds with a total of 3565 cattle in eighteen villages were monitored during a period of twelve months. Input and output data were collected by enumerators posted in villages for which epidemiological conditions were assessed throughout the study period. Additional price information was collected in local markets, abattoirs and through focus group discussions. It was found that cattle-keeping is important in both Mali and Burkina Faso; however, herds were larger in Mali. The smaller herd size in the study area compared to other parts of sub-Saharan Africa and the higher ratio of draught animals to male adult cattle, especially in Burkina Faso, indicate a farming system more oriented towards intensive use of draught animals in crop production. The majority of cattle farmers in the study area considered trypanosomosis the most important disease of cattle, and knowledge of the cause of trypanosomosis in the study zone was relatively high compared to other parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Farmers are aware of many strategies to control the disease. However, their preferred strategy is the use of trypanocidal drugs and the majority of treatments are given by cattle farmers, although this is not legal.
