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...

PCR and DNA-probe hybridization to assess the efficacy of therapeutic and prophylactic isometamidium treatment in Trypanosoma spp. - infected dairy cattle in peri-urban Kampala, Uganda
The aim of this study was to assess, whether polymerase chain reaction (PCR) allows sensitive screening of treatment failure suspicions in areas, where drug resistance against African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) appears to be a problem. PCR was used to detect trypanosome infections prior to, 14 ...

Trypanocidal failure suggested by PCR results in cattle field samples
Drug resistant trypanosome infections in livestock have been Reported from 13 sub-Saharan countries so far, in eight of which multiple resistance occurs. Since new trypanocides are unlikely to appear on the market in the near future, information about the occurrence, extent and impact of drug res...
