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...

GI nematodes are most commonly controlled by chemotherapy. Anthelmintic efficacy is decreasing as drug resistance becomes widespread and other approaches are needed. Knowledge of protective immunity against GI parasites is important for the development of vaccine strategies. Success in this field...

The development of cerebral malaria (CM) in mice with Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection is under genetic control. Brain gene-expression patterns were investigated in well-defined genetically CM-resistant (CM-R; BALB/c and DBA/2) and CM-susceptible (CM-S; C57BL/6 and CBA/J) mice by use of cDNA mic...

Development of anaemia in inflammatory diseases is cytokine-mediated. Specifically, the levels of tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), produced by activated macrophages, are correlated with severity of disease and anaemia in infections and chronic disease. In African trypanosomiasis, anaemia develop...

C57BL/6 mice deficient in one or two copies of the gene for tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) were more susceptible to Trypanosoma congolense infection than their resistant, wild-type counterparts. The number of TNF-α genes was correlated with the capacity to control parasitaemia and with survi...

Two bovine bacterial artificial chromosome clones were screened by PCR to amplify the tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFA) gene. DNA extraction and Southern blotting and probing with a (GT)10 oligonucleotide were performed, followed by cloning into the pUC19 vector. A 0.9 kb fragment containing se...

The C57BL/6 BALB/c and A/J inbred laboratory mouse strains often express different response phenotypes when challenged with a variety of infectious agents (Morrison et al. 1978; Bradley 1977; Hormmaeche et al. 1985). In view of the pivotal role of tumor necrosis factor Tnfa in innate immunity, we...
