African trypanosomes are protozoan parasites that cause “sleeping sickness” in humans and a similar disease in livestock. Trypanosomes also infect laboratory mice and three major quantitative trait loci (QTL) that regulate survival time after infection with T. congolense have been identified in t...

This study was conducted to identify the 6 major criteria that periurban dairy producers of the subhumid zone of Burkina Faso use in upstream decisions on breed composition of their herds through the repertory grid method. This study was carried out in a sample of 283 producers of Bobo-Dioulas...

High-resolution mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) is an essential step towards positional cloning and identification of the corresponding genes. Most QTL detection and mapping studies in mice have been carried out using F2 intercross and backcross populations. As a consequence of the limi...

More effective control of the tsetse fly in Africa will reduce constraints imposed by the livestock disease, trypanosomiasis. Trypanosomiasis lowers livestock productivity, and in some areas, may limit the ability of farmers to keep livestock and plough the land using animal traction. Control of ...

Sleeping sickness is a parasitic, vector-borne disease, carried by the tsetse fly and prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa. The disease continues to pose a public health burden in Uganda, which experienced a widespread outbreak in 1900-1920, and a more recent outbreak in 1976-1989. The disease continu...

The relationship between prevalence of trypanosomal infections (Trypanosoma congolense) and average packed cell volume (PCV) in herds of communally managed adult Angoni breed cattle was investigated in four districts of eastern Zambia. In all areas, regression analyses showed that the herd averag...

Some West African Bos taurus cattle breeds such as the N'Dama and a number of West African Shorthorns are resistant to tsetse fly-transmitted trypanosomosis. The trait is termed trypanotolerance, for which changes in packed red cell volume percent (PCV) and growth rate following infection are ge...
