Examines the genetic basis of trypanotolerance with particular reference to Africa, environmental factors which can influence its stability like age, stress (work, pregnancy etc.), nutrition and disease, and the possible mechanisms responsible; looks at the tyrpanotolerance of different breeds.
Summarises the impact of trypanosomiasis on development of trypanotolerant livestock. Describes current genetic research being carried out by collaborating national and international organisations in the African Trypanotolerant Livestock Network, and discusses the importance of conserving these g...

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...

Presents results of a study undertaken firstly to measure the relative effects in N'Dama cattle of length of time detected parasitaemic; intensity of parasitaemia; and control of development of anaemia; on reproductive performance (calving interval), maternal ability (calf weaning weight) and cow...

Reports results of a study on the relationships between tsetse challenge and trypanosome prevalence in trypanotolerant and susceptible breeds of cattle. Presents data on tsetse challenge and trypanosome prevalence in N'Dama and Zebu cattle in Zaire, Gabon, Ethiopia and Cote d'Ivoire.

Reports the productivity levels achieved by grade Boran cattle maintained by chemoprophylaxis at Mkwaja ranch (Tanzania) from 1973 to 1982. Analyses the effects of year and season of calving on birth, cow age, calf sex and area & location of herd on performance of the environmental influences. Ev...
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...
