限制对牛使用杀虫剂是一种廉价而安全的农民控制采采蝇的方法。在西非，它是使用洗脚盆，主要是为了控制nagana和蜱Amblyomma variegatum。在东部和南部非洲，它可能有助于控制人类疾病，即，罗得西亚昏睡病也是。这种新的控制方法对蜱、采采蝇和锥虫病的有效性已在早期得到证实。这项发明是由研究人员和农民在十年前共同建造的，通过两个发展项目的推广，成为布基纳法索的一项创新。在这项研究中，我们研究了72个农民居住在城市周边地区的瓦加杜古和波波-迪乌拉索的过程和水平。变量描述的畜牧养殖系统，实施和感知的方法和知识的流行病学系统被用来区分三个集群的养牛户，然后使用指标的采用进行比较。第一个集群对应的是现代农民，他们非常好地采用了这项技术。比较传统的农民被分为两组，其中一组采用率很高，而第二组则没有采用这种方法。经济利益和农民对流行病学系统的了解似乎对早期采用过程的影响不大，而一些现代做法以及社会因素似乎至关重要。向农民提供的技术支持的质量也有很大影响。牛农民的创新风险评估进行了分析，使用罗杰斯的采用标准，突出了个体差异的风险认知和利益，以及突出的作用，社会技术网络的牛农民。结果进行了讨论，以突出应考虑的因素，从实验室到现场的发现，以改善控制锥虫病载体。限制对牛使用杀虫剂是一种廉价和安全的农民控制采采蝇及其传播的疾病，即人类和动物非洲锥虫病的方法。这种新的控制方法的效率已在早些时候得到证明，但没有关于农民对其的看法和采用强度的数据。我们在布基纳法索研究了这两个特点，由于两个发展项目，该方法已经普及。这项研究确定了三组农民采用不同的强度，其中一个是现代和两个传统。经济利益和农民对流行病学系统的了解似乎对早期采用过程的影响不大，而一些现代做法以及社会因素似乎至关重要。向农民提供的技术支持的质量对采用率也有很大影响。这项研究突出了风险认知和利益方面的个体差异，以及养牛户社会技术网络的突出作用。研究的结果进行了讨论，以突出应考虑的因素，从实验室到现场的发现，以改善控制锥虫病的载体。
Restricted application of insecticides to cattle is a cheap and safe farmer-based method to control tsetse. In Western Africa, it is applied using a footbath, mainly to control nagana and the tick Amblyomma variegatum. In Eastern and Southern Africa, it might help controlling the human disease, i.e., Rhodesian sleeping sickness as well. The efficiency of this new control method against ticks, tsetse and trypanosomoses has been demonstrated earlier. The invention, co-built by researchers and farmers ten years ago, became an innovation in Burkina Faso through its diffusion by two development projects. In this research, we studied the process and level of adoption in 72 farmers inhabiting the peri-urban areas of Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso. Variables describing the livestock farming system, the implementation and perception of the method and the knowledge of the epidemiological system were used to discriminate three clusters of cattle farmers that were then compared using indicators of adoption. The first cluster corresponded to modern farmers who adopted the technique very well. The more traditional farmers were discriminated into two clusters, one of which showed a good adoption rate, whereas the second failed to adopt the method. The economic benefit and the farmers' knowledge of the epidemiological system appeared to have a low impact on the early adoption process whereas some modern practices, as well as social factors appeared critical. The quality of technical support provided to the farmers had also a great influence. Cattle farmers' innovation-risk appraisal was analyzed using Rogers' adoption criteria which highlighted individual variations in risk perceptions and benefits, as well as the prominent role of the socio-technical network of cattle farmers. Results are discussed to highlight the factors that should be taken into consideration, to move discoveries from bench to field for an improved control of trypanosomoses vectors. Restricted application of insecticides to cattle is a cheap and safe farmer-based method to control tsetse and the diseases they transmit, i.e. human and animal African trypanosomoses. The efficiency of this new control method has been demonstrated earlier but no data is available on its perception and adoption intensity by farmers. We studied these two features in Burkina Faso, where the method has diffused thanks to two development projects. The study allowed identifying three groups of farmers with various adoption intensities, of which one was modern and two traditional. The economic benefit and the farmers' knowledge of the epidemiological system appeared to have a low impact on the early adoption process whereas some modern practices, as well as social factors appeared critical. The quality of technical support provided to the farmers had also a great influence on the adoption rate. The study highlighted individual variations in risk perceptions and benefits, as well as the prominent role of the socio-technical network of cattle farmers. The results of the study are discussed to highlight the factors that should be taken into consideration, to move discoveries from bench to field for an improved control of trypanosomoses vectors.
