To evaluate the Weitzman approach for assessing alternative conservation strategies for breed ( population ) diversity, we used genetic distance measures between 49 African cattle breeds divided into two groups of 26 taurine ( Bos taurus ) and sanga ( Bos taurus×Bos indicus ) breeds and 23 zebu ...

The indirect MAP 1B ELISA based on the recombinant MAP 1B fragment of the immunodominant MAP 1 protein of Ehrlichia ruminantium is considered to be the most sensitive and specific assay for the serodiagnosis of heartwater. In this study, we evaluated its reliability in detecting exposure to E....
Because major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes play a major role in the development of acquired immune responses, it is essential to obtain comparative information on their organisation, expression and possible functional dichotomies in different species. In human, three classical, polymorp...
We describe the development of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based approach for analysis of genetic diversity at the DQA loci in African Bos indicus and Bos Taurus cattle. This approach, equally effective in European and Asian cattle breeds, detects the presence or absence of DAQ1 and most du...

The pick-up rates of tick species by various resistant groups of animals, dipped once a month and not dipped were investigated under ranch conditions in Nabiswera, Luwero district, Uganda. During the first three weeks of exposure of cattle to natural tick infestation, two phases of tick build-up ...

Data on approximately 4,000 head of N'Dama cattle kept in 60 herds under traditional management systems in The Gambia were analysed to estimate annual herd offtake rates during a 5 year period (1986-1990). Farm-gate sale prices and weight at sale of 428 cattle were analysed by least-squares ANOVA...

African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) and trypanotolerant N'Dama cattle were compared for their resistance to overcome Trypanosoma congolense and T. vivax infections. Several compartments from the immune system were followed during the infections and compared between the two species. Several parmaete...
