A marker-assisted introgression (MAI) experiment was conducted to use genetic markers to transfer each of the three trypanotolerance QTL from a donor mouse strain, C57BL/6, into a recipient mouse strain, A/J. We used a backcross strategy that consisted of selecting two lines, each carrying two of...

It has been reported that some breeds of cattle such as the N'Dama mount a more effective antibody response to the variable surface glycoprotein coat of trypanosomes and that this may contribute to their ability to control the infection. Thus we have investigated antibody responses to surface exp...

In part I of this review of the prospects of vaccination against African trypanosomiasis, contained in the previous issue of World Animal Review, the constraints in developing a vaccine were discussed and current knowledge on the molecular biology of the trypanosome and on antigenic variation wit...

Over a 12-month period 313 (8.4 percent) out of 3727 slaughter cattle sampled at Ibadan abattoir were found to be infected with trypanosomiasis. Infection rates were higher in the dry than in the wet season ranging from 20.4 percent in November to 2.8 percent in May. Overall PCV levels were highe...

Infection with African trypanosomes causes the diseases sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in cattle in sub-Saharan Africa. Suppression of cellular immune responses is a feature of trypanosomiasis in bovine, human, and murine hosts. Some aspects of immunosuppression in the murine model are me...
