It was a cross\u2010sectional survey of adult pastoral herders, aged 30\u00a0years and above, and conducted between October 2012 and February 2013. A face\u2010to\u2010face structured questionnaire was administered on the pastoralists nested in 96 cattle herds with questions focused on pastoralists\u2019 socio\u2010cultural activities and behavioral practices related to <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">HAT<\/jats:styled-content> risk. Descriptive and analytic statistics were used to describe the obtained data. A total of 384 pastoralists participated, with mean age of 49.6 \u00c2\u00a0\u00b1\u00a010.76 <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SD<\/jats:styled-content> years. Male respondents constituted 86.7% of gender, while pastoralists of age group 40\u201349\u00a0years constituted 35.4% of respondents. About 59.4% of the pastoralists had knowledge about <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">HAT<\/jats:styled-content> and its symptoms and only 33.9% of them believed that cattle served as reservoir of <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">HAT<\/jats:styled-content> trypanosome. Knowledge\/belief levels of the pastoralists about African trypanosomiasis occurrence in humans and animals were statistically significant. Males were four times more likely to be exposed to <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">HAT<\/jats:styled-content> (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">OR<\/jats:styled-content>\u00a0=\u00a03.67; 95% <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CI<\/jats:styled-content>: 1.42, 9.52); age group 60\u201369 was also four times more likely to be exposed (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">OR<\/jats:styled-content>\u00a0=\u00a03.59; 95% <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CI<\/jats:styled-content>: 1.56, 8.28); and nomadic pastoralists were two times more likely to be exposed to <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">HAT<\/jats:styled-content> (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">OR<\/jats:styled-content>\u00a0=\u00a02.07; 95% <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CI<\/jats:styled-content>: 1.37, 3.14). All cultural practices significantly influenced exposure to <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">HAT<\/jats:styled-content> with extensive husbandry system three times more likely to predisposed pastoralists to <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">HAT<\/jats:styled-content> (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">OR<\/jats:styled-content>\u00a0=\u00a03.21; 95% <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CI<\/jats:styled-content>: 1.65, 6.24). Socio\u2010cultural characteristics of pastoralists influenced exposure to <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">HAT<\/jats:styled-content> risk and, therefore, there is a need to sensitize them to bring changes to their socio\u2010cultural practices and perceptions to achieve effective and long term sustainable <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">HAT<\/jats:styled-content> control. Elimination strategies of parasites in animals and vectors should be considered to avoid reintroduction from animal reservoirs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/zph.12226","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,11]],"date-time":"2015-09-11T02:35:08Z","timestamp":1441938908000},"page":"271-280","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Influence of Pastoralists\u2019 Sociocultural Activities on Tsetse\u2013Trypanosome\u2013Cattle Reservoir Interface: The Risk of Human African Trypanosomiasis in North\u2010Central Nigeria"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"63","author":[{"given":"N.
