Nagana (cattle disease)

Nagana is a disease that affects cattle, primarily caused by parasites transmitted by tsetse flies. It is most common in parts of Africa and can lead to symptoms like fever, weakness, and swelling. The condition impacts livestock health, reducing productivity and causing economic losses for farmers. Nagana can also affect other animals, including horses and dogs. Controlling the disease involves managing tsetse fly populations and sometimes treating infected animals, but it remains a significant challenge in agriculture and livestock management in affected regions.
