The national atlas of African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) and its tsetse vectors in Zambia is an initiative by the Tsetse and Trypanosomosis Control Unit (TTCU) within the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock that aims to improve AAT surveillance and its progressive control by enhancing disease intelligence and data management.<h4>Methods</h4>All field data collected by the TTCU from April 2009 to July 2025 were systematically assembled, georeferenced and harmonised. The data included entomological information on tsetse flies collected using mobile and stationary trapping devices, as well as animal trypanosomosis data obtainedParasites & vectorsDeveloping a national atlas to support the progressive control of tsetse-transmitted animal trypanosomosis in Zambia.PMC12604332101000467INV-06758157511424Chilongo KSihoka CMukumbwali MPaone MMuyobela JCecchi GfalseDeveloping a national atlas to support the progressive control of tsetse-transmitted animal trypanosomosis in Zambia.<h4>Background</h4>Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) are the sole cyclical vectors of African trypanosomosis, a parasitic disease affecting both animals and humans.
