Trypanosome infection was detected by the dark ground/phase contrast buffy coat microscopic technique in N'Dama cattle in a high natural tsetse challenge situation in Zaire. The data were used to compare the pattern of infection in very young animals and in their dams, and to evaluate how the pat...

Patterns of Trypanosoma vivax and T. Congolense infection differ in young N'Dama cattle and their dams
Trypanosomiasis in man and domestic animals in Africa is discussed with particular reference to the complexity and economics of the disease and the effectiveness of current methods of control.
Matching animal health and performance data were recorded over the 2 year period from weaning at 10 months of age on 225 N'Dama cattle in a high natural tsetse challenge situation in Zaire. Four parameters that are regarded as possible indicators of trypanotolerance, species of trypanosomes detec...
