This paper discusses past and present approaches to managing tsetse-transmitted animal trypanosomosis in Africa and describes the three main weaknesses of these approaches, i.e., inappropriate objectives, inadequate links between research and policy-making and a lack of recognition that trypano...
Relationships were evaluated between trypanosome infection as measured by antigen detection enzyme immunoassays (antigen ELISA), anaemia as determined by average packed red cell volume (PCV), and animal performance as assessed by daily weight gain in 99 N'Dama cattle in Gabon exposed to natural t...

Relationships between trypanosome infection measured by antigen detection enzyme immunoassays, anaemia and growth in trypanotolerant N'Dama cattle
Discusses trypanotolerant livestock, commonly accepted by livestock producers that trypanotolerance is the ability of an animal to survive, reproduce and be productive without the necessity for trypanocidal drugs in an environment with trypanosomiasis, risk. Discusses constraints in conducting re...

Trypanotolerant livestock, a sustainable option for increasing livestock production in tsetse-affected areas
Data on tsetse fly, and on village Ndama cattle collected over a 4-year period in southern Senegal were analysed. A total of 431 Ndama cattle in four herds of three villages in the Upper Casamance area of southern Senegal were monitored monthly. Glossina morsitans submorsitans and Glossina palpal...

Tsetse challenge, trypanosome and helminth infection in relation to productivity of village Ndama cattle in Senegal
A tsetse control campaign was started in January 1991 using a synthetic pyrethroid cypermethrin `pour-on' applied monthly to cattle exposed to high levels of drug-resistant trypanosomes in the Ghibe valley of southwest Ethiopia. In December 1992, a cost-recovery scheme was introduced, and thereaf...

Estimating the effects of tsetse control on livestock productivity - a case study in southwest Ethiopia
Cette etude examine la production de troupeaux bovins villageois principalement trypanotolerants, dans la region de Boundiali, au nord de la Cote d'Ivoire. Le but est d'evaluer la rentabilite de ce systeme de production dans une region affectee par la trypanosomose et d'identifier les principales...

Discusses trypanotolerance in cattle and prospects for the control of trypanosomiasis by selective breeding in Africa. Looks into methods available for control including tsetse control, drugs & vaccination and discusses constraints that limit the control. Also discusses prospects for future contr...

Trypanotolerance in cattle and prospects for the control of trypanosomiasis by selective breeding
Cattle raised in the Ghibe valley of southwest Ethiopia are exposed to medium to high levels of trypanosomiasis risk and are often given trypanocidal drugs. A benefit-cost analysis was undertaken to evaluate the financial and economic returns generated by cattle raised in the area under a systema...

Trypanosomosis is one of the major constraints on animal production in areas of Africa which have the greatest potential for significant increases in domestic livestock populations and livestock productivity. While the eradication of trypanosomosis from the entire continent is an unrealistic goal...

African animal trypanosomosis is a parasitic disease that afflicts livestock across much of sub-Saharan Africa. The disease, primarily transmitted by the tsetse fly (Glossina spp.), causes morbidity and mortality in several species of livestock. It is particularly important in southern Burkina Fa...
