Drug resistance in trypanosomes is increasingly being recognised as a constraint to livestock production in many parts of Africa. However the long-term stability of such resistance is unclear and has therefore been investigated over a 4-year period at a site in Ethiopia. The result shows that the...

Trypanosomosis remains one of the biggest impediments to the Development of the livestock industry in sub-Saharan Africa while it is likely that a vaccine for this disease could be found in the future, none is presently available. Mean-while different strategies are being followed to control this...

Molecular approaches to the identification of DNA markers for drug resistance in Trypanosoma congolense
Chemotherapy is the single most important strategy for the control of trypanosomosis in African livestock. Trypanocidal drug resistance is a growing problem across much of sub-Saharan Africa and increasingly recognised as a major threat to livestock production. It is therefore of pressing importa...

In order to search for T. congolense genes whose transcription status may be influenced by response to isometamidium chloride, we applied the Representational Difference Analysis (RDA) (Lisitsyn et al., 1993; Hubank & Schatz, 1994) to the comparative analysis of cDNA synthesised from two isogenic...
