A Cause-Effect Study of Trypanosomosis Dynamics in Cows under Agro-Pastoral Systems in The Gambia

African Animal Trypanosomosis (AAT) is one of the most serious constraints to cattle health and productivity in sub-Saharan Africa. • The tropical environment of The Gambia, with its diverse climatic and soil conditions, creates a complex setting for AAT. • In cows, its impacts are shaped by multiple interlinked factors, including host susceptibility and management practices. • Understanding the cause-effect dynamics of AAT within agropastoral systems is critical. • This study examines how various factors interact to influence AAT in cows, providing insights for more effective control strategies
