A paper dealing with research conducted to reduce the effect of trypanosomiasis on animal production in Africa. Looks into the African Trypanotolerant livestock Network and discusses the exploitation of trypanotolerant breeds, trypanosome prevalence and animal performance. Also examines specific ...

Aspects of research to reduce the effect of trypanosomiasis on animal production in Africa
Specific humoral and cell mediated immunity to blood parasites is reviewed. There is a table detailing the worldwide occurrence of economically important blood parasitic diseases followed by summaries of immunological aspects of trypanosomosis, theileriosis, babesiosis, anaplasmosis, cowdriosis a...
Bovine trypanosomiasis caused by pathogenic trypanosomes, and cyclically transmitted by tsetse flies, is considered to be a major disease constraint to livestock production in sub-Saharan Africa, preventing full use of the land to feed the rapidly increasing human population. Privatisation of vet...

Trypanosomosis is an endemic disease in cattle in Mukono District in south eastern Uganda. A multi-disciplinary project was formulated in order to better understand the infection dynamics, and drug sensitivities, of the trypanosome parasites prevalent in Mukono, and also to assess the economic im...

Decreasing efficacy of the trypanocidal drugs and difficulties of sustaining tsetse fly control, strengthen the importance of trypanotolerant livestock and the enhancement of disease resistance as options for livestock production. Continued increase in urban demand for meat and milk in West Afric...
Sequential changes in the blood and bone marrow (BM) were studied by light and transmission electron microscopy in three Boran and three Ndama cattle before and after a primary infection with Trypanosoma congolense IL 1180. Parasitaemia was essentially similar in the Borans and the Ndamas between...

Results of a study conducted to estimate the importance of factors influencing blood packed cell volume (PCV) and to investigate possible relationships between PCV and reproductive & liveweight performance of N'Dama cattle exposed and not exposed to trypanosomiasis under the same system of manage...
