Considerable progress has been made in defining and measuring criteria of trypanotolerance since the late 1970's, when ILCA, FAO and UNEP worked with researchers in 18 West and Central African countries to show clear relationship between level of trypanosomiasis risk and animal performance.

Phenotypic and genetic parameter estimates of factors related to the performance of trypanotolerant livestock
This paper reviews studies on the relationships between trypanotolerance and performance of cattle, and the genetics of trypanotolerance traits. Results of these studies are used to discuss the practical possibilities of increasing trypanotolerance through selection.
Presentation des resultats de recherche ayant pour but de determiner des parametres genetiques fiables de la trypanotolerance, ces dermiers etaut necessaires pour le developpement et l'evaluaiton de programmes de selection pour la race N'Dama, et d'evalier l'utilite des premiers marqueurs utilisa...
