“…Therefore, footbath treatment of cattle can not only decrease tick infestation of treated cattle but also reduce the incidence of trypanosomiasis in cattle (49, 50). Besides, as important malaria vectors, such as Anopheles arabiensis , feed on cattle as well as on humans and since more than 90% of these mosquitoes feed on the legs of cattle (51), such targeted cattle treatment could also have great impact on mosquito populations and contribute to malaria control of people living near cattle herds.…”

Livestock, especially cattle, play a paramount role in agriculture production systems, particularly in poor countries throughout the world. Ticks and tick-borne diseases (TBDs) have an important impact on livestock and agriculture production in sub-Saharan Africa. The authors review the most common methods used for the control of ticks and TBDs. Special emphasis is given to the direct application of acaricides to the host animals. The possible environmental and public health adverse effects (i.e., risks for the workers, residues in the environment and in food products of animal origin) are mentioned. The authors present two case studies, describing different field experiences in controlling ticks in two African countries. In Zambia (Southern Africa), a strategic dipping regime was used to control Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks, vectors of theileriosis, a deadly disease affecting cattle in the traditional livestock sector in Southern Province. The dipping regime adopted allowed to reduce the tick challenge and cattle mortally rate and, at the same time, to employ less acaricide as compared to the intensive dipping used so far, without disrupting the building-up of enzootic stability. In Burkina Faso (West Africa), where dipping was never used for tick control, an acaricide footbath was employed as an alternative method to the traditional technique used locally (portable manual sprayers). This was developed from field observations on the invasion/attachment process of the Amblyomma variegatum ticks – vector of cowdriosis – on the animal hosts, leading to a control method aimed to kill ticks temporarily attached to the interdigital areas before their permanent attachment to the predilection sites. This innovative method has been overall accepted by the local farmers. It has the advantage of greatly reducing costs of treatments and has a minimal environmental impact, making footbath a sustainable and replicable method, adoptable also in other West African countries. Although the two methods described, developed in very different contexts, are not comparable – if public health and environmental implications are taken into account, if a balance among efficacy of the control method(s), cost-effectiveness and sustainability is reached – a way forward for the implementation of a One Health strategy can be set.

“…The overall incidence of cattle trypanosomosis was reduced (P=0.01) from 0.76 (control group) to 0.11 (footbath treated group). A positive effect of the footbath treatment on packed-cell volume was also observed (P<0.001, see Bouyer et al 2009) which proved a significant improvement of animal health ).…”

In many parts of Africa, tsetse eradication is impossible due to political, environmental or economic circumstances. In these situations, African animal trypanosomosis control relies on communities or farmer-based control, implemented at a local scale in accordance to the ecoepidemiological context and the cattle rearing system to be sustainable. Management of the African animal trypanosomosis requires integrated controls strategies that combine the use of more than one locally-based tool and where possible, needs to be assisted by veterinarians and other animal health professionals. Several tsetse control methods based on insecticide treated cattle (i.e. pour-on, manual spraying, community bath) and insecticide treated target (traps and screens impregnated with insecticides) are available and should be complemented with diagnostic tests and medication (active trypanocides with prophylactic and/or therapeutic action). However, their adoption is mainly dependent on the engagement of communities, farmers and herders. Indeed, the adoption of a locally-adapted control strategy will depend on farmers socio-technical networks, the cost-effectiveness of the control activities, as well as the time and cost for implementation. In general, insecticide treated cattle methods are the most suitable and acceptable for farmers, because they protect a private good i.e. cattle, whereas insecticide treated targets are generally considered to provide a public good. Nonetheless, selection of the most appropriate tools requires consideration of local disease epidemiology (including host-parasite coevolution), local environmental and socio-economic constraints. The active involvement of communities, farmers and herders is essential from the beginning of the conception of innovative control strategies, and the cost of local integrated pest management should be reduced as much as possible, to be adopted as an acceptable and sustainable animal production cost.

“…variegatum (en particulier son mode d'invasion par une fixation temporaire entre les onglons) a permis de mettre au point une méthode innovante contre cette espèce, le pédiluve acaricide (30), qui s'est par la suite avérée efficace contre les tsé-tsé. Le traitement régulier des animaux par pédiluve permet alors de réduire de plus de 90 p. 100 l'incidence trypanosomienne dans certaines conditions (8,9). Cette méthode est efficace, rapide et économique mais repose sur l'application de recommandations techniques strictes.…”

Le pédiluve acaricide/insecticide est une nouvelle méthode de lutte intégrée contre les vecteurs en zone subhumide Ouest africaine : son efficacité a été validée par de nombreuses études en situations expérimentales et réelles. Cette invention sanitaire d’origine exogène (proposée par la recherche) a été co-construite avec des groupes d’éleveurs il y a dix ans et a ensuite été diffusée. En tout, 22 pédiluves et 72 éleveurs ont été étudiés. A partir de 97 variables d’adoption concernant la sociologie, les aspects organisationnels, le système d’élevage, l’appréciation de l’outil et les modalités de mise en oeuvre, 21 ont été considérées comme actives et sept comme indicateurs d’adoption, suite aux analyses préliminaires. Elles ont été soumises à des analyses multivariées permettant de caractériser trois groupes d’éleveurs, dont l’adoption a été évaluée. Le premier groupe était constitué par les éleveurs modernes de Ouagadougou qui ont bien adopté la méthode. Les éleveurs plus traditionnels de Bobo-Dioulasso ont été séparés en deux groupes dont l’un n’a pas adopté le pédiluve, contrairement au second. Les dix variables discriminant principalement ces groupes ont été analysées. Elles avaient trait au système d’élevage, aux modalités de mise en oeuvre de la méthode et à l’appréciation de l’outil. L’appréciation du risque de l’innovation par les éleveurs a été discutée grâce aux critères d’évaluation de l’adoptabilité de Mendras et Forsé. Cette analyse a mis en évidence les variations de perception individuelle des bénéfices et des risques, et le rôle prédominant du réseau socio-technique
