An epidemiological study of recurrent trypanosome infection in East African Zebu cattle and its association with drug resistance
Decreasing efficacy of the trypanocidal drugs and difficulties of sustaining tsetse fly control, strengthen the importance of trypanotolerant livestock and the enhancement of disease resistance as options for livestock production. Continued increase in urban demand for meat and milk in West Afric...

The peri-urban dairy production systems in Uganda, located in the subhumid agro-ecological zone with medium rainfall have a high potential for livestock production (Walsche et al., 1991; Winrock, 1992), but medium tsetse challenge and the associated trypanosomiasis risk may adversely affect dairy...

A tsetse control campaign using an insecticidal cypermethrin "pour-on" applied monthly to village Zebu cattle in Ghibe in southwest Ethiopia has been in operation for over six years. For four of these years farmers have paid a cost-recovery price for each animal given treatment. Relative densitie...

It is useful to be able to estimate the incidence of new infections in cattle exposed to a high challenge of drug resistance trypanosomes; with this information the impact of an intervention that improves the control of trypanosomosis can be better understood. Approximately 750 Ethiopian Highland...
