Serum Ig from Trypanosoma congolense-infected cattle were affinity-purified using immobilised trypanosome or non-trypanosome antigens (beta-galactosidase, cytochrome C and ferritin). The bound and unbound IgG and IgM fractions were collected and tested in ELISA for reactivity to each antigen. The...

Data on tsetse fly, and on village Ndama cattle collected over a 4-year period in southern Senegal were analysed. A total of 431 Ndama cattle in four herds of three villages in the Upper Casamance area of southern Senegal were monitored monthly. Glossina morsitans submorsitans and Glossina palpal...

During its first two years, the African trypanosome genome project, funded in part by the UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR), has concentrated on three fundamental areas: (1) gene discovery by single-pass sequencing of cDNAs to produce expre...

This paper is a review of the meeting "Sleeping Sickness Rediscovered". The meeting focussed on human sleeping sickness, which, despite improvements in diagnosis and control has returned with a vengeance across central Africa. Topics of discussion include control activities; control tools; resear...
The use of geographical information systems (GIS) in the management of African animal trypanosomosis in sub-Saharan Africa offers potential in assisting decisions on allocation of resources, prioritization of control areas, and planning and management of field operations. Here, Guy Hendrickx and ...

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...

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...
