The peri-urban dairy production systems in Uganda, located in the subhumid agro-ecological zone with medium rainfall have a high potential for livestock production (Walsche et al., 1991; Winrock, 1992), but medium tsetse challenge and the associated trypanosomiasis risk may adversely affect dairy...

The effect of trypanosomosis on the resumption of postpartum ovarian function and oestrus activity was studied in small East African zebu cows maintained under natural trypanosomosis challenge. This was done through the determination of milk progesterone levels using the enzyme linked immunosor...

De Castro has reviewed the methods applied for the control of ticks and tick-borne diseases (TTBDs). Similarly, Holmes & Ton reviewed the control methods for tsetse flies and trypanosomosis. Although many areas of Kenya, including the Coastal lowlands region, are endemic for TBDs and trypanosomos...

Nineteen herds of cattle (N'Dama, Baoule and Zebu crosses) and 20 flocks of Djallonke and Djallonke x Sahel sheep in the region of Boundiali, northern Cote d'Ivoire, were monitored monthly for body weight, packed red blood cell volume and the presence of trypanosomes in blood over various periods...

Research has been undertaken since 1986 in the Ghibe valley, southwest Ethiopia, monitoring approximately 840 village East African Zebu cattle monthly to assess the effects of trypanosomiasis on productivity. The average monthly trypanosome prevalence between 1986 and 1989 was about 30 percent. M...

Studies on infections with drug-resistant trypanosomes indicate that the majority of parasites in a population are sensitive to the drug dose used to select the population (Mamman et al., 1993). This study was initiated to examine whether a drug-resistant trypanosome population could influence th...

An average of 840 East African Zebu cattle have been monitored in the Ghibe valley, south west Ethiopia since 1986. Despite a high prevalence of drug resistance, regular Berenil treatment appears to have maintained these cattle at reasonable levels of productivity. However, when corrected for fre...
