This volume presents major results obtained since the publication of volume 1 and 2 and updates national data on trypanotolerant cattle. The first part analyses populations and their trends between the two surveys and reviews research activities and development activities. It also gives recent in...

Emphasises the importance of trypanotolerance by indicating that trypanotolerant breeds were at least as productive as other indigenous African breeds in areas of zero to low tsetse challenge and that in areas where tsetse challenge was substantial, only trypanotolerant breeds could survive. It w...


Trail, J.C.M.D'Ieteren, G.D.M.[Characterisation of trypanotolerant cattle: a case study]Characterisation of trypanotolerant cattle: a case study

The exploitation of resistance traits very much relies on the understanding of the mechanisms underlying trypanotolerance, their characterisation in the field, the identification of practical measures of trypanotolerance characteristics, the evaluation of their linkage with final livestock output...


D'Ieteren, G.D.M.Wissocq, N.M.Trail, J.C.M.Nantulya, V.M.Masake, R.[Parasite control and assessment of trypanotolerance]Parasite control and assessment of trypanotolerance

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.


Trail, J.C.M.D'Ieteren, G.D.M.Murray, M.[Practical aspects of developing genetic resistance to trypanosomiasis]Practical aspects of developing genetic resistance to trypanosomiasis

Discusses the design of breeding programmes for stressful environments. Identifies the relationship between adaptive traits and productive traits, the Development of breeding objectives and selection criteria. Includes economic objectives, heat tolerance, feed intake, disease resistance and the r...


Franklin, I.R.Trail, J.C.M.[The design of breeding programmes for stressful environments]The design of breeding programmes for stressful environments

Earlier research had provided clear indications of an ability of N'Dama cattle to acquire, over time, some control of the Development of parasitaemia following a T. vivax infection but not apparently, following a T. congolense infection. The objective of this study is to further assess the import...


Wissocq, N.M.D'Ieteren, G.D.M.Trail, J.C.M.Monsengo, B.[Ability to acquire resistance to trypanosome infections and growth of N'Dama cattle]Ability to acquire resistance to trypanosome infections and growth of N'Dama cattle

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...


Murray, M.Trail, J.C.M.Black, S.J.[Genetic resistance to parasitic diseases. African trypanosomiasis]Genetic resistance to parasitic diseases. African trypanosomiasis

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...


Murray, M.Morrison, W. IvanMurray, P.K.Clifford, D.J.Trail, J.C.M.[Trypanotolerance - a review]Trypanotolerance - a review

Presents field research on measurement and use of trypanotolerance criteria to enhance trypanotolerant livestock productivity. Reviews approach and steps taken from the early years to the most recent ongoing or planned experiments carried out by ILCA and its partneres in the African Trypanotolera...

ILCA's achievements and future plans]Field research on measurement and use of trypanotolerance criteria to enhance trypanotolerant livestock productivity. 1. ILCA's achievements and future plans

A six year data at Mushie Ranch, Zaire was collected and analysed to quantify the relative importance of four trypanotolerance indicators (ability to control the length of time detected parasitaemic, the ability to control the intensity of parasitaemia, the ability to resist the development of se...
