Host ability to control the Development of trypanosomes is a major component of trypanotolerance. However, practical indicators of the parasite control capability have still to be identified as they rely on the availability of more precise diagnostic techniques that could be carried out at the fa...

Trypanosome antigen test to characterise infection status in N'Dama cattle
Earlier research had provided clear indications of an ability of N'Dama cattle to acquire, over time, some control of the Development of parasitaemia following a T. vivax infection but not apparently, following a T. congolense infection. The objective of this study is to further assess the import...

Ability to acquire resistance to trypanosome infections and growth of N'Dama cattle
While an increasing number of examples of innate resistance to disease are being identified in domestic livestock, resistance to the effect of trypanosomes is one of the best-recognized and most thoroughly investigated. Experimental and field studies reviewed in this chapter are providing the bas...

Genetic distance between Bos taurus breeds and a possible phylogenic tree with a Bison outgroup
A six year data at Mushie Ranch, Zaire was collected and analysed to quantify the relative importance of four trypanotolerance indicators (ability to control the length of time detected parasitaemic, the ability to control the intensity of parasitaemia, the ability to resist the development of se...

Field research on measurement and use of trypanotolerance criteria to enhance trypanotolerant livestock productivity. 2. Recent results quantifying trypanotolerance indicators
Matching animal health and performance data were recorded over the 2 year period from weaning at 10 months of age on 225 N'Dama cattle in a high natural tsetse challenge situation in Zaire. Four parameters that are regarded as possible indicators of trypanotolerance, species of trypanosomes detec...
