Nineteen herds of cattle (N'Dama, Baoule and Zebu crosses) and 20 flocks of Djallonke and Djallonke x Sahel sheep in the region of Boundiali, northern Cote d'Ivoire, were monitored monthly for body weight, packed red blood cell volume and the presence of trypanosomes in blood over various periods...

Ticks and tickborne diseases (TTBD) are serious animal health constraints in Uganda and acaricides are the current method of choice for their control. Although widely used, the external-input, single-technology paradigm of chemical control is unsustainable and may inhibit endemic stability. TTB...

The economic and biological efficiency of cotton seed cake (CSC) and molasses urea block (MUB) supplementation to control gastrointestinal nematode parasites was examined in artificially infected Horro and Menz lambs from 3 to 12 months of age. The factorial O.xperimental design involved 2 breeds...

A tsetse control campaign using an insecticidal cypermethrin "pour-on" applied monthly to village Zebu cattle in Ghibe in southwest Ethiopia has been in operation for over six years. For four of these years farmers have paid a cost-recovery price for each animal given treatment. Relative densitie...

A tsetse control experiment with 500 deltamethrin-impregnated targets was initiated in the Ghibe Valley, south-west Ethiopia, in April 1990. The theft of a large number of targets following the socio-political disturbances of May 1991 spoiled major reductions in tsetse density and trypanosome pre...

It has been hypothesized that the presence of the tsetse fly has protected the biological diversity of the African continent by preventing over-use of ecosystems by people and their livestock. Our objective was to evaluate how changes in land-use, a likely impact of tsetse control, affect selecte...

The paper reviews the limited data available on both between-and within-breed genetic variation for resistance to helminthiasis in cattle, sheep and goats in the tropics. Topics covered include criteria of resistance, resilience or tolerance, parasite species and mode of infection, parameters to ...
