Background
Theileria parva is an intracellular parasite that causes a lymphoproliferative disease in cattle. It does so by inducing cancer-like phenotypes in the host cells it infects, although the molecular and regulatory mechanisms involved remain poorly understood. RNAseq data, and the resulti...

The effect of urea-molasses feed-supplement blocks (MUB) on feed utilisation and the inclusion of anthelmintic medication into the blocks at strategic times to control nematode parasites was studied in lambs grazed on low quality tropical pasture. 120 Menz ram lambs of 5-7 months of age were divi...

This study is designed to examine the nature of trypanotolerance, in particular to compare the clinical parameters of infected N'Dama with those of infected Zebu cattle and the variability and repeatability within the N'Dama breed of various disease parameters. Twenty N'Dama and light Zebu cattle...

In 1988 and 1989, the effects of endoparasites on reproductive performance of on-farm sheep were studied at 5 sites in the Ethiopian highlands using nematode eggs per gram (EPG) counts, treamatode EPG and packed-cell volume (PCV). Mean litter size, lambing interval, annual reproductive rate and a...

The parasitic weeds Striga gesnerioides (Willd.) Vatke and Alectra vogelli (Benth.) cause considerable demage to cowpea [ Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] in the semiarid regions of Africa. Systematic screening has revealed few cowpea varieties to be resistant. Of these, B 301 is resistant to both st...

Presents and discusses the purpose and experimental design of a study to be conducted on monitoring of endoparasite status in sheep. First phase will concentrate on monitoring endoparasites and productivity of Menz, Horro, Blackhead Somali and other breeds of highland sheep in their own habitat a...
Striga hermonthica, an obligate root parasite of grasses, is one of the most severe constraints to cereal production in sub-Saharan Africa. In the recent past, prior to increased production pressure on land, S. hermonthica was controlled in African farming systems by prolonged crop rotations with...

Field surveys were conducted during 1990–92 to document the relative abundance of different species of parasites of the lepidopterous stem borers Sesamia calamistis Hampson and Eldana saccharina Walker in maize fields in southwestern Nigeria. Species of parasitoids detected on both stem borers in...
