IDEAS: A tool for improved evaluation and utilization of animal genetic resources
Trypanosomosis is one of the major constraints on animal production in areas of Africa which have the greatest potential for significant increases in domestic livestock populations and livestock productivity. While the eradication of trypanosomosis from the entire continent is an unrealistic goal...

Trypanotolerance, an option for sustainable livestock production in areas at risk from trypanosomiasis
While an increasing number of examples of innate resistance to disease are being identified in domestic livestock, resistance to the effect of trypanosomes is one of the best-recognized and most thoroughly investigated. Experimental and field studies reviewed in this chapter are providing the bas...

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...
