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 ...

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...

While several traps and targets have been developed to suppress the tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) that transmit trypanosomiasis there have been few examples of self-sustaining `community-based' tsetse control programmes using these devices. The prospects for community-based tsetse control is being...
