Anti-trypanosomal antibodies in sequentially collected sera of N'Dama cattle under natural trypanosomiasis risk in The Gambia
Over the last two to three decades, West Africa has witnessed considerable changes in land use. Unprecedented increases in human population combined with changes in climatic patterns have reduced per capita arable land traditionally available for agricultural production. In the livestock sub-sect...

Trends in genetic composition of livestock with respect to trypanotolerance and desirable economic traits with special emphasis on mixed farming systems in West and Central Africa
A total of 505 lactation records from 340 cows of the N'Dama breed were matched with health records recorded on the same animals over a period of 4 years. The objective of the analysis was to establish linkages between 3 criteria of trypanotolerance namely, frequency of infection, control of para...
