Trypanocidal treatments remain the most widespread method used for the control of African animal trypanosomosis (AAT). However increasing resistance affects the sustainability of this strategy. In general, resistance can be directly attributed to biological factors but it is recognized that insti...


Ouédraogo, D.Kamuanga, M.Savadogo, K.McDermott, John J.Randolph, Thomas F.Diarra, B.Woitag, T.Clausen, P.H.[Facteurs institutionnels et developpement de la resistance aux trypanocides dans la zone cotonniere en Afrique de l'Ouest: Evidence empirique dans la province du kenedougou au Burkina faso]Facteurs institutionnels et developpement de la resistance aux trypanocides dans la zone cotonniere en Afrique de l'Ouest: Evidence empirique dans la province du kenedougou au Burkina faso

Geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing were used to identify villages at high risk for sleeping sickness, as defined by reported incidence. Landsat Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM) satellite data were classified to obtain a map of land cover, and the Normalised Difference Vegetatio...


Odiit, M.Bessell, P.R.Fèvre, Eric M.Robinson, Timothy P.Kinoti, J.Coleman, P.G.Welburn, S.C.McDermott, John J.Woolhouse, Mark E.J.[Using remote sensing and geographic information systems to identify villages at high risk for rhodesiense sleeping sickness in Uganda]Using remote sensing and geographic information systems to identify villages at high risk for rhodesiense sleeping sickness in Uganda

This study assessed the degree of isometamidium resistance of trypanosomes infecting cattle in the upper Didessa valley of western Ethiopia. An initial prevalence study was conducted to identify sites with a high risk of trypanosmosis in cattle. The trypanosome prevalence varied widely, with t...

Field studies were conducted to assess the occurrence of resistance to isometamidium chloride and diminazene aceturate in trypanosomes infecting cattle in Kenedougou Province of Burkina Faso. Forty-five of the 166 villages in Kenedougou were randomly sampled and visited to assess livestock numb...

In a cross-sectional study carried out in June 1994, 486 cattle from 50 randomly selected dairy farms in the vicinity of Kampala, Uganda, were examined for trypanosome infections. The trypanosome prevalence (either positive with the haematocrit centrifugation technique [HCT] and/or the mini-anion...
