More effective control of the tsetse fly in Africa will reduce constraints imposed by the livestock disease, trypanosomiasis. Trypanosomiasis lowers livestock productivity, and in some areas, may limit the ability of farmers to keep livestock and plough the land using animal traction. Control of ...
Sleeping sickness is a parasitic, vector-borne disease, carried by the tsetse fly and prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa. The disease continues to pose a public health burden in Uganda, which experienced a widespread outbreak in 1900-1920, and a more recent outbreak in 1976-1989. The disease continu...
The relationship between prevalence of trypanosomal infections (Trypanosoma congolense) and average packed cell volume (PCV) in herds of communally managed adult Angoni breed cattle was investigated in four districts of eastern Zambia. In all areas, regression analyses showed that the herd averag...
Some West African Bos taurus cattle breeds such as the N'Dama and a number of West African Shorthorns are resistant to tsetse fly-transmitted trypanosomosis. The trait is termed trypanotolerance, for which changes in packed red cell volume percent (PCV) and growth rate following infection are ge...
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...
This paper compares the susceptibility of Glossina pallidipes to stocks of Trypanosoma vivax. The first comparison on infection rates in male and female Glossina pallidipes which originated from Nguruman or Shimba Hills, Kenya, by Trypanosoma vivax stocks isolated in Galama, kenya, or Zaria, Nige...
Six herds of N'Dama cattle exposed to low to medium tsetse challenge in areas surrounding the village of Keneba in the Kiang West District of The Gambia, were monitored. The degree of anaemia, as measured by PCV in 2- to 5-year-old female N'Dama cattle during the first month of detectable trypano...
