This paper undertakes an ex ante economic analysis of research on how resistance to trypanosomosis - a dominant livestock disease in Africa - can be maintained and enhanced while retaining and reinforcing characteristics of economic importance to farmers, and on how 'trypanotolerance' can be impa...

An ex ante economic and policy analysis of research on genetic resistance to livestock disease: Trypanosomiasis in Africa
This paper discusses past and present approaches to managing tsetse-transmitted animal trypanosomosis in Africa and describes the three main weaknesses of these approaches, i.e., inappropriate objectives, inadequate links between research and policy-making and a lack of recognition that trypano...
The subhumid and semi-arid zones of West Africa are one of the subregions reputed to hold Africa's greatest potential for expansion of animal agriculture. Within this region livestock are affected by tsetse-transmitted trypanosomosis-a disease that severely constrains productivity, thus hampering...
