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 Kenya, the vast majority of dairy farms are owned and run by smallholder farmers. These farms are estimated to produce 75-90 percent of the milk sold in Kenya (Mbogoh, 1984a, b); about 65 percent of dairy cattle in the smallholder farms are stall-fed for the greater part of the year (Gitau et ...

Tsetse-transmitted trypanosomosis affects cattle production over approximately 10 million km2 of Africa. In these areas, trypanocidal drugs, both prophylactic and curative, are the most widely used methods of trypanosomosis control. However, resistance of trypanosomes to the 3 trypanocidal drugs ...

This paper studies East Coast fever (Theileria parva infection) risk in four district smallholder-farming areas of Kenya representing a range of epidemiological states of the disease. The areas include Kakamega, where indigenous cattle are intensively grazed with minimal tick control under modera...

Describing agroecosystems and assessing their sustainability and health has become of great interest to researchers, Development agents and communities. Such assessments are frequently carried out using a group of carefully chosen attributes, known as indicators. This was the approach adopted in ...

The identification and tracking of sub-populations through time and space are critical to fully understanding the epidemiology of parasitic diseases. However, very little is known about the structure, distribution and dynamics of trypanosome populations in the field. Most laboratory studies that ...
