Trypanosomes are covered with a dense layer of antigenically identical glycoproteins. These molecules are highly immunogenic and elicit an antibody response in the infected host. Antibodies against the surface-exposed epitopes of the trypanosome variable surface glycoproteins (VSG) mediate the de...

The International Laboratory for Research on Animal Diseases (ILRAD) has recently developed interests in several areas of cell biology and biochemistry that are relevant to trypanosomiasis and theileriosis (East Coast Fever (ECF)). The reasons for this interest stem from a perceived difficulty of...

In light of the current problems and limitations of chemotherapy for trypanosomiasis in domestic livestock and human beings, this workshop was conducted to discuss research aimed at developing new trypanocides. Because of the scarcity of information on the phenotypic and genetic basis of drug res...

This workshop was conceived in recognition of the fact that, over the years, a great deal of research has been conducted on trypanotolerance. With the advent of new and powerful means to identify markers and genes controlling traits of interest, and with the developments in animal breeding bringi...

The main aim of this meeting was to review those developments in the fields of immunology and immunoparasitology that have relevance to the development of vaccination strategies for ECF and trypanosomiasis. Of relevance to the control of ECF were recent developments in the elucidation of events t...

Session one of this report highlights ILRAD's research programs and the modelling needs of ILRAD and FAO. Session two deals with vector and helminth population dynamics with particular reference to ticks, tsetse and helminth. Parasite transmission and host parasite interaction are discussed in se...
