Some West African Bos taurus cattle breeds such as the N'Dama and a number of West African Shorthorns are resistant to tsetse fly-transmitted trypanosomosis. The trait is termed trypanotolerance, for which changes in packed red cell volume percent (PCV) and growth rate following infection are ge...

Background: The expansion of sleeping sickness caused by Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (T. rhodesiense) beyond its traditional focus in southeast Uganda, has been linked with large-scale livestock restocking. To assess the risk presented to the human population by domestic livestock, human-infe...

This paper compares the susceptibility of Glossina pallidipes to stocks of Trypanosoma vivax. The first comparison on infection rates in male and female Glossina pallidipes which originated from Nguruman or Shimba Hills, Kenya, by Trypanosoma vivax stocks isolated in Galama, kenya, or Zaria, Nige...

Six herds of N'Dama cattle exposed to low to medium tsetse challenge in areas surrounding the village of Keneba in the Kiang West District of The Gambia, were monitored. The degree of anaemia, as measured by PCV in 2- to 5-year-old female N'Dama cattle during the first month of detectable trypano...

Cattle raised in the Ghibe valley of southwest Ethiopia are exposed to medium to high levels of trypanosomiasis risk and are often given trypanocidal drugs. A benefit-cost analysis was undertaken to evaluate the financial and economic returns generated by cattle raised in the area under a systema...

Trypanosomosis is one of the major constraints on animal production in areas of Africa which have the greatest potential for significant increases in domestic livestock populations and livestock productivity. While the eradication of trypanosomosis from the entire continent is an unrealistic goal...
