This volume presents major results obtained since the publication of volume 1 and 2 and updates national data on trypanotolerant cattle. The first part analyses populations and their trends between the two surveys and reviews research activities and development activities. It also gives recent in...

Trypanotolerant livestock in West and Central Africa. Volume 3. A decade's results
The evaluation of the interactions between trypanosome risk, disease control methods and the productivity require high consideration so that sustainable strategies that are best adaptable to the specific needs, constraints and opportunities of the production systems are worked out. There is no un...

A resource environment for research on multi-disease resistance
The genetic components of trypanotolerance measurements must be determined in well controlled on going production systems where the necessary identification and/or quantification of environment and genetic effects are possible. A resource population has been established in the Mushie District Ban...

A N'Dama cattle resource population for research on trypanotolerance
Emphasises the importance of trypanotolerance by indicating that trypanotolerant breeds were at least as productive as other indigenous African breeds in areas of zero to low tsetse challenge and that in areas where tsetse challenge was substantial, only trypanotolerant breeds could survive. It w...

Characterisation of trypanotolerant cattle: a case study
Trypanosomiasis is one of the major constraints on animal production in areas of Africa that have the greatest potential for significant increases in domestic livestock populations and livestock productivity. While various methods are being used by farmers to control the disease, major public eff...

Indigenous genetic resources: A sustainable and environmentally friendly option for livestock production in areas at risk from trypanosomosis
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...

Trypanosome infection status and trypanotolerance
The exploitation of resistance traits very much relies on the understanding of the mechanisms underlying trypanotolerance, their characterisation in the field, the identification of practical measures of trypanotolerance characteristics, the evaluation of their linkage with final livestock output...

Parasite control and assessment of trypanotolerance
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.
Trypanotolerance is one of the best recognised examples of innate resistance to disease and one of the most thoroughly investigated. Experimental and field studies Reported in this paper are providing the basic tools with which the trypanotolerance trait can be identified and exploited. Evaluatio...
