The trypanosome surface coat is composed almost entirely of a homogeneous array of molecules known as variable surface glycoproteins (VSG). These molecules are highly immunogenic and elicit a strong antibody response in the infected host. Antibodies against the surface-exposed epitopes of a parti...

Factors affecting the expression of trypanotolerance are discussed. Some of the factors which could influence the feeding preference of tsetse are physical - skin thickness, skin rippling; visual - coat colour, size; olfactory - breath, urine, skin secretions; behaviour - tail flicking, head swin...

The trypanosomiasis research programme in the Laboratory has two broad objectives. First, to develop approaches and technologies which will enable currently available control strategies to be applied more effectively and, second, to develop novel means of control. Trypanosomiasis control at pres...
