Many parasite species are known to show high levels of genetic diversity, yet the consequences of this diversity for host-parasite interactions are not well understood. Variation in phenotypic traits such as growth rates and the ability to form transmission stages are raw material for natural a...

Genetic and phenotypic analysis of Tunisian Theileria annulata clones
Background: The expansion of sleeping sickness caused by Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (T. rhodesiense) beyond its traditional focus in southeast Uganda, has been linked with large-scale livestock restocking. To assess the risk presented to the human population by domestic livestock, human-infe...

Cattle owners' perceptions of African bovine trypanosomiasis and its control in Busia and Kwale Districts of Kenya
Currently in Southeast Uganda, FITCA (EU funded Farming in Tsetse Controlled Areas Project) is involved in an intervention programme against both animal trypanosomiasis and human sleeping sickness. This is a regional project involving Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda. In southeast Uganda, the...

Assessment of trypanosome prevalence in FITCA high risk areas
Bovine trypanosomiasis caused by pathogenic trypanosomes, and cyclically transmitted by tsetse flies, is considered to be a major disease constraint to livestock production in sub-Saharan Africa, preventing full use of the land to feed the rapidly increasing human population. Privatisation of vet...
