This dataset contains information on the apparent density of tsetse flies in the Upper West region of Ghana. It was generated within the framework of a tsetse and trypanosomosis elimination campaign (Pan-African tsetse and trypanosomosis eradication campaign (PATTEC) - Ghana).

This dataset contains information on African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) in Western Senegal. Data were collected prior to the initiation of activities aimed at eliminating tsetse fly, the vector of the disease. Details on this dataset are availale in “The Prevalence of African animal trypanosomoses and Tsetse presence in Western Senegal” Seck M. T., Bouyer J., Sall B., Bengaly Z., Vreysen M. J. B., Parasite, 2010, 17, 257-265

This map represents outbreaks of HPAI reported from 1st Jabuary to 7th of June 2006. The original data have been collected and aggregated at the most detailed administrative level and for the units available for each contry. NOTE: FAO compiles information from numerous sources (FAO, OIE, Official governamental sources, EC, Reference Laboratories and others) and cannot garantee the veracity of all the information given. The map will be updated as soon as additional information becomes available.

The FGGD poverty map is a global vector datalayer at scale 1:5 000 000. The map depicts the differences among countries with respect to the national population estimated to be living in poverty as of the latest year for which data was available in 2005. Data have been compiled by FAO from data reported in World Bank, WDI Online, as of April 2005.

This dataset is an aggregated version of the original national Africover landcover multipurpose database. A 26-class legend is used to aggregate the classes present in the original full resolution, multipurpose landcover database. A single legend is applicable to the eight trypanosomiasis-affected countries mapped during Africover project (Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan, Uganda and United Republic of Tanzania).

Eco-climatic zones were produced taking into account land-surface and atmospheric characteristics (the photosynthetic activity, the temperature of the earth?s surface, the atmospheric drying power, the rainfall, the potential evapotranspiration, the length of growing period for plants, the surface elevation). Most of these features could be accurately predicted using satellite data; some others needed a combination of remotely sensed and ground-based data. Remotely sensed data were acquired by NOAA-AVHRR sensor and by Meteosat satellite. The AVHRR satellite data were available in dekadal images for a 13 year series from 1982-1994. Meteosat imagery runs from 1988 to 1997. The information layer was produced for FAO in January 1999 by Environmental Research Group Oxford (ERGO Ltd) in collaboration with the Trypanosomosis and Land Use in Africa (TALA) research group at the Department of Zoology, University of Oxford.

The dataset contains the predicted areas of suitability for the three tsetse fly groups (Fusca, Palpalis and Morsitans) and for 24 tsetse species. All of the distributions have been produced using variations of the same methodology - by modelling the "known" presence and absence of the flies (usually the 1977 Ford and Katondo maps modified with more recent information collected from national and international agencies and researchers). The modelling process relies on logistic regression of fly presence against a wide range of predictor variables for a large number of regularly spaced sample points for each area. The predictor variables include remotely sensed (satellite image) surrogates of climate - vegetation, temperature, moisture - which have been subjected to Fourier processing to provide an additional set of season and timing related measures for each parameter. Demographic, topographic and agroecological predictors are also used. These models are then applied to the predictor imagery to determine the probability of fly distributions. Data are provided at 5 kilometres resolution for the whole sub-Saharan Africa. The 5km continental maps were produced in November 1999 for FAO Animal Health and Production Division and DFID Animal Health Programme by Environmental Research Group Oxford (ERGO Ltd) in collaboration with the Trypanosomosis and Land Use in Africa (TALA) research group at the Department of Zoology, University of Oxford.

Data are provided at 1 kilometre resolution. The maps were produced in December 2001 for FAO/IAEA Joint Division by Environmental Research Group Oxford (ERGO Ltd) in collaboration with the Trypanosomosis and Land Use in Africa (TALA) research group.

The dataset contains the predicted areas of suitability for four tsetse fly species (f. fuscipes, morsitans, pallidipes and tachinoides). All of the distributions have been produced using variations of the same methodology - by modelling the "known" presence and absence of the flies (usually the 1977 Ford and Katondo maps modified with more recent information collected from national and international agencies and researchers). The modelling process relies on logistic regression of fly presence against a wide range of predictor variables for a large number of regularly spaced sample points for each area.

Demographic, topographic and agroecological predictors are also used. These models are then applied to the predictor imagery to determine the predicted areas of suitability for tsetse. Data are provided at 1 kilometre resolution over the tsetse affected area in Ethiopia. The maps were produced in May 2002 for FAO/IAEA Joint Division by Environmental Research Group Oxford (ERGO Ltd) in collaboration with the Trypanosomosis and Land Use in Africa (TALA) research group.
