An average of 840 East African Zebu cattle from nine herds in the Ghibe Valley, southwest Ethiopia were monitored from 1986 to 1990. Each month blood samples were collected from analysis of packed red cell volume and detection of trypanosomes. Animals were found to be parasitaemic and with a PCV ...

The pick-up rates of tick species by various resistant groups of animals, dipped once a month and not dipped were investigated under ranch conditions in Nabiswera, Luwero district, Uganda. During the first three weeks of exposure of cattle to natural tick infestation, two phases of tick build-up ...

Studies on seasonality and population dynamics of ticks on indigenous cattle and their crosses (calves) were carried out in Buruli Ranching Scheme, Nabiswera, Luwero District of Uganda on three treatment groups of animals: group 1 (twice a week dipping), group 2 (once a month dipping) and group 3...

Trypanosomiasis, a disease transmitted by the tsetse fly, is a major constraint to livestock production and mixed farming in Africa. Due to the prevalence of trypanosomiasis and skin diseases in much of Zaire, it was concluded that cattle production was only feasible through the introduction of t...

Trypanosomiasis, a disease transmitted by the tsetse fly, is a major constraint to livestock production and mixed farming in Africa. This study examines the economics of the village production of trypanotolerant cattle recently introduced in an affected area of Togo that was previously virtually ...

A cross-sectional stratified random sample survey of 1755 households in the Kenya highlands was conducted between June 1996 and April 1998 to quantify cattle population dynamics in smallholder herds. The free-, semi-zero- and zero-grazing systems practised represented increasing levels of intensi...

In 1986 a project was set up to determine the constraints to production of Zebu cattle under trypanosomiasis risk in the Ghibe valley. Approximately 1800 East African Zebu cattle (EAZC) were resident within the Ghibe valleey during the experimental period (1986 - 1992) and were maintained under t...

The objective of this study was to apply transition models to distinguish between factors associated with both incident and persistent trypanosome infections. Data collected from 1561 cattle were analyzed from a long-term study involving 8 herds in which both trypanosome infections (a total of 56...

A tsetse control campaign was started in January 1991 using a synthetic pyrethroid cypermethrin `pour-on' applied monthly to cattle exposed to high levels of drug-resistant trypanosomes in the Ghibe valley of southwest Ethiopia. In December 1992, a cost-recovery scheme was introduced, and thereaf...

Full-length recombinant versions of p67, the 709 amino acid major surface protein of Theileria parva sporozoites, induce immunity to East Coast fever (ECF) in cattle. We show that a soluble Escherichia coli recombinant version of p67 (p67635), in which a prokaryotic signal peptide replaces the e...
