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
Malaria and trypanosomiasis are vector-borne protozoal diseases which disproportionately affect the poor. Both give rise to immense human suffering; malaria exerts its effect directly on human health, while trypanosomiasis causes damage largely though its effect on the health and productivity of ...

Controlling malaria and African trypanosomiasis: The role of the mouse
Gene-knockout mice have been extensively used in the study of several malaria-induced pathologies. Some investigators believe that the deficient, infected mice mimic disease aspects produced in the absence of the target gene, but others believe that the deficient mice models mainly explain the ef...
