Answer Details
The use of animal traction, which involves using animals to pull farm equipment, is limited in the forest zones of West Africa due to the presence of tsetse flies. These flies transmit trypanosomiasis, a disease that affects both humans and animals. The disease can be fatal to animals and can also cause drowsiness and decreased work capacity, making it difficult for animals to work on farms. As a result, farmers in forest zones rely more on manual labor or the use of machines for farming activities.
