African animal trypanosomosis constrains agricultural production in areas of Africa that hold the continent's greatest potential for expanded agricultural production. Previous studies indicate that the incidence of trypanosomosis: (i) reduces calving rates by 1-12 percent in tolerant breeds and b...

To understand the environmental impacts of controlling trypanosomosis, there are two principle questions to answer: 1) How does controlling trypanosomosis affect the pattern and rate of land-use/land cover change? 2) If these changes occur, how do they affect ecosystem structure and function? For...

This paper explores the elements of a sound policy toward tsetse and trypanosomosis control by highlighting key issues in policy design and implementation. A framework is proposed that suggests that consistent policy toward tsetse and trypanosomosis control hinges on strong links with broad rural...

Reports on the improved Boran in Kenya. Discussions and data on history of breeding, breed description, and distribution, birth weight, weaning age and weight, milk and fat production, age at first calving, calving percentage and interval, post weaning weights, adaptability and disease resistance...
A survey was carried out to evaluate the effect of veterinary treatment on disease incidence and productivity of West African Dwarf (Djallonke) goats and sheep from may 1982 to April 1983. Two village groups were identified as treatment group (where rinderpest vaccination and dipping applied) and...

This paper determines whether tumour necrosis factor (TNF alpha) (a cytokine that is predominantly secreted by cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage) production is induced during bovine trypanosomiasis and wheather or not production is correlated with disease. TNF alpha titres in plasma from B...

Trypanotolerance involves an ability to both control trypanosome multiplication and resist the pathogenic effects of trypanosome infection. Studies in the African Trypanotolerant Livestock Network and elsewhere have shown that the latter capacity is more closely correlated than the former to the ...
