Cattle from 50 farms in Mukono County, Uganda, were monitored for trypanosomes every second month over an 18-month period (1995–1996) by mini-anion exchange chromatography and haematocrit centrifugation techniques. Eighteen trypanosome isolates collected from cattle during this period were charac...

Drug sensitivity of trypanosome populations from cattle in a peri-urban dairy production system in Uganda
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
Trypanosomosis is an endemic disease in cattle in Mukono District in south eastern Uganda. A multi-disciplinary project was formulated in order to better understand the infection dynamics, and drug sensitivities, of the trypanosome parasites prevalent in Mukono, and also to assess the economic im...

Assessment of financial costs for the control of bovine trypanosomiasis in Mukono county, Uganda
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...
