IDEAS: A tool for improved evaluation and utilization of animal genetic resources
The evaluation of the interactions between trypanosome risk, disease control methods and the productivity require high consideration so that sustainable strategies that are best adaptable to the specific needs, constraints and opportunities of the production systems are worked out. There is no un...

A resource environment for research on multi-disease resistance
The genetic components of trypanotolerance measurements must be determined in well controlled on going production systems where the necessary identification and/or quantification of environment and genetic effects are possible. A resource population has been established in the Mushie District Ban...

Trypanosome infection status and trypanotolerance
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...

Parasite control and assessment of trypanotolerance
Host ability to control the Development of trypanosomes is a major component of trypanotolerance. However, practical indicators of the parasite control capability have still to be identified as they rely on the availability of more precise diagnostic techniques that could be carried out at the fa...

Trypanosome antigen test to characterise infection status in N'Dama cattle
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...
