One of the main activities of the Italian Animal Health Programme (IAHP) in the Republic of Zambia, a bilateral project between the Ministry of Agriculture of the Zambian Government and the General Directorate for Development Cooperation of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is the control of Malignant Theileriosis in Southern Province, through immersion of cattle in dip tanks containing an acaricide. There are potentially important health risks to farm workers and the environment as a result of this intervention and these are discussed. The control measures undertaken, with special reference to health education programmes, are described.

Key words: health promotion; occupational health; pesticides
