Chemoprophylaxis: Its successful use in the control of trypanosomiasis in Boran cattle, at Mkwaja ranch, Tanzania
Discusses trypanotolerance in cattle and prospects for the control of trypanosomiasis by selective breeding in Africa. Looks into methods available for control including tsetse control, drugs & vaccination and discusses constraints that limit the control. Also discusses prospects for future contr...

Trypanotolerance in cattle and prospects for the control of trypanosomiasis by selective breeding
The prevalence, species and intensity of trypanosome parasitaemia over an eighteen-month period, February 1986 to July 1987, are reported for some 700 N`Dama cattle managed in twenty-five village herds in forest and plateau areas of Idiofa, Zaire. The effect of trypanosomiasis and other diseases ...

Trypanosomiasis in N'Dama cattle under village management in Zaire
A study undertaken to evaluate the degree of genetic determination in the control of development of anaemia in N'Dama post-weaner cattle exposed to a medium natural trypanosome challenge during a short term test for trypanotolerance. The heritabilities of average pcv, lowest pcv reached, and grow...

A study was conducted to assess the correlation between criteria of trypanotolerance and production. N'dama post weaner cattle with different weights and from different age groups were studied for weight gain, packed cell volume (PCV) and for the presence of trypanosomes. The analysis approach wa...

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.
Studies the efficacy of chemoprophylaxis for the control of trypanosomiasis on 700 heads of East African Zebu Cattle maintained in village herds in a tsetse-infested area at Muhaka, Coast province of Kenya. Shows the effect of trypanocidal drugs and time on trypanosome prevalence, and the effect ...
