The pathogenic trypanosomes Trypanosoma vivax and Trypanosoma congolense are transmitted by tsetse and cause trypanosomosis, a debilitating disease affecting livestock in Africa and South America. Here, we discuss the need, relevance and advantage of having the Trypanosoma genomes sequenced, an...

Comparative genomics to uncover the secrets of tsetse and livestock-infective trypanosomes
Investigations to identify the causes of high mortalities in cattle in the agropastoral zone (ZAP( of Yale started in March 1993. African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) was found to be the major constraint, with incidence rates exceeding 30 percent, justifying a tsetse control programme, which start...

A tsetse control campaign was started in January 1991 using a synthetic pyrethroid cypermethrin `pour-on' applied monthly to cattle exposed to high levels of drug-resistant trypanosomes in the Ghibe valley of southwest Ethiopia. In December 1992, a cost-recovery scheme was introduced, and thereaf...

Estimating the effects of tsetse control on livestock productivity - a case study in southwest Ethiopia
Few studies of land-use/land-cover change provide an integrated assessment of the driving forces and consequences of that change, particularly in Africa. Our objectives were to determine how driving forces at different scales change over time, how these forces affect the dynamics and patterns of ...

Cette etude examine la production de troupeaux bovins villageois principalement trypanotolerants, dans la region de Boundiali, au nord de la Cote d'Ivoire. Le but est d'evaluer la rentabilite de ce systeme de production dans une region affectee par la trypanosomose et d'identifier les principales...

Discusses trypanotolerance in cattle and prospects for the control of trypanosomiasis by selective breeding in Africa. Looks into methods available for control including tsetse control, drugs & vaccination and discusses constraints that limit the control. Also discusses prospects for future contr...
