Table 2. Cost-effectiveness of using targets and cattle to control tsetse.
Start of targets relative to cattle | Daily mortality at targets (%) | Days to stability | Costs for stabilisation ($) | ||
Cattle | Targets | Total | |||
180 days ahead | 2.5 | 494 | 719 | 116 | 835 |
5.0 | 259 | 388 | 152 | 540 | |
0 days ahead | 2.5 | 559 | 845 | 96 | 941 |
5.0 | 314 | 504 | 108 | 612 | |
180 days later | 2.5 | 696 | 1092 | 89 | 1181 |
5.0 | 469 | 781 | 99 | 880 |
For each row, the days required to stabilise the tsetse distribution in Scenario L, and the costs of stabilisation are shown. The simulations assumed that insecticide-treated cattle, with a daily mortality of 10%, were deployed in all parts of the operational area, except for a central section 7 km wide where targets imposing various mortalities were started at various times in relation to the start of cattle treatments. Days to stability are counted from the start of cattle treatments.
