A method is described for calculating new infection incidence from monthly field data collected between April 1994 and February 1998 from an average of 770 Ethiopian Highland Zebu cattle maintained under traditional management in the Ghibe valley, southwest Ethiopia and exposed to a high challeng...

Presents results of a study undertaken firstly to measure the relative effects in N'Dama cattle of length of time detected parasitaemic; intensity of parasitaemia; and control of development of anaemia; on reproductive performance (calving interval), maternal ability (calf weaning weight) and cow...

In an on-farm trial conducted amongst the Maasai pastoralists in Nkuruman and Nkineji areas of Kenya between April 2004 and August 2005 designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a synthetic tsetse repellent technology, we assessed the relationship between tsetse challenge and trypanosomosis incid...

Cross sectional surveys (2002-2004) achieved in 89 villages, carried on 5474 cattle and 1908 tse tse flies (G. palpalis: 53%; G. tachinoides: 45% and G. morsitans: 2%) have been captured. Following these investigations, several suspected villages have been chosen for longitudinal surveys in order...

Examines the productivity characteristics of village N'Dama cattle exposed to different levels of trypanosomiasis challenge in The Gambia over a 3-year period. 60 lactating cows in which Trypanosoma congolense and T. vivax had been detected on blood examination were compared with 50 cows which ha...

Resistance to the drugs used to control African animal trypanosomosis is increasingly recognised as a constraint to livestock production in sub-Saharan Africa. The most commonly used tests for detection of trypanocidal drug resistance are tests using mice or ruminants, but these suffer from lack ...

The breeding and growth performances of N'Dama, Muturu and zebu cattle were investigated to determine trypanosome resistance of the breeding stock. Data on age at first calving, calving interval, calf birth weight and growth rate included.

Tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) are vectors of trypanosomes that cause sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in livestock across sub-Saharan Africa. Tsetse control strategies rely on a detailed understanding of the epidemiology and ecology of tsetse together with genetic variation within and...
