A study conducted to assess whether there was any evidence of genetic resistance to African trypanosomiasis in different goat breeds including East African, Galla and Crossbreds between East African and Galla, Nubian or Toggenburg.
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...
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.
While an increasing number of examples of innate resistance to disease are being identified in domestic livestock, resistance to the effect of trypanosomes is one of the best-recognized and most thoroughly investigated. Experimental and field studies reviewed in this chapter are providing the bas...
Presents findings of a research carried out into the factors associated with genetic resistance to parasitic diseases in livestock Development projects in tsetse-infested areas of Africa. Indicates that trypanotolerant breeds of domestic livestock are capable of making a contribution towards alle...
This article attempts to evaluate the current state of knowledge on questions such as, to what extent is inheritance important and how is it influenced by environmental factors; what are the mechanisms underlying increased resistance; and how productive are these breeds under various levels of ch...
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...
