A survey to investigate resistance to drugs used in the treatment of bovine trypanosomosis was conducted in the eastern province of Zambia between 1996 and 1998. A cross-sectional study was conducted in three districts (Petauke, Katete, Lundazi) at 34 village sampling sites selected at random fr...

Trypanocidal drug resistance in eastern province of Zambia
Testing of trypanocidal drug sensitivity in stabilates of pathogenic trypanosomes derived from cattle continues to be problematic, in spite of Development of in vitro techniques, since these are generally complicated and costly for the resources available in developing country laboratories. Furth...

A simplified cost-effective method for area-wide testing of trypanocidal drug sensitivity of T. congolense in mice
Resistance to the drugs used to control African animal trypanosomosis is increasingly recognised as a constraint to livestock production in sub-Saharan Africa. The most commonly used tests for detection of trypanocidal drug resistance are tests using mice or ruminants, but these suffer from lack ...

Standardised tests in mice and cattle for the detection of drug resistance in tsetse-transmitted trypanosomes of African domestic cattle
The extent and significance of trypanocidal drug resistance was investigated in priority areas of three East and Southern African Countries under a project. The project was built on the results of two previous projects. Existing methods currently available for the demonstration of drug-resistance...

Area-wide appraisal of drug resistance in trypanosomes infecting cattle in East and Southern Africa
Besides the in vitro test, two tests are very commonly used for the detection of trypanocidal drug resistance: the tests in mice and in ruminants. Since it has been shown that several parameters such as the number of trypanosomes inoculated and the time of treatment might influence the outcome of...
