Isometamidium chloride is the most important chemoprophylactic agent used in the control of African bovine trypanosomiasis, although breakdowns in prophylaxis have been observed in the field. It is not usually apparent whether these breakdowns are due to inadequate drug dosage regimens, or to the...

Bovine trypanosomiasis caused by pathogenic trypanosomes, and cyclically transmitted by tsetse flies, is considered to be a major disease constraint to livestock production in sub-Saharan Africa, preventing full use of the land to feed the rapidly increasing human population. Privatisation of vet...

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...

To investigate the importance of trypanosomosis, resistance to trypanocidal drugs and the potential impact of integrated control measures on these factors, a 3-phase study was initiated. The first phase was a cross-sectional study in which tsetse apparent density, cattle trypanosome prevalence, t...

Isometamidium chloride (Samorin, Trypanidium is a phenanthridine-aromatic amidine that is commonly used in cattle as a prophylactic agent against trypanosomiasis. Although the compound has been used for over 30 years, very little is known about its mode of action. Various workers have demonstrate...

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...
