To understand the environmental impacts of controlling trypanosomosis, there are two principle questions to answer: 1) How does controlling trypanosomosis affect the pattern and rate of land-use/land cover change? 2) If these changes occur, how do they affect ecosystem structure and function? For...

Tsetse-transmitted trypanosomosis is regarded as the most debilitating livestock disease in sub-Saharan Africa, responsible for annual economic losses of over US$1.3 billion. To date, however, all economic impact assessments of trypanosomosis have excluded the public health burden of the disease....

This paper explores the elements of a sound policy toward tsetse and trypanosomosis control by highlighting key issues in policy design and implementation. A framework is proposed that suggests that consistent policy toward tsetse and trypanosomosis control hinges on strong links with broad rural...

Reports on the productivity of trypanotolerant breeds in 18 West and Central African countries. Traits examined included reproductive performance, cow and calf viability, milk production, growth and body weight of cattle within a village or ranch management system and under four degrees of trypan...

Mkwaja Ranch is located on the coast of Tanzania in Pangani District about 100 km south of Tanga. The ranch covers an area of 47,250 hectares of coastal forest-savanna mosaic vegetation. The area is heavily infested with three species of tsetse, Glossina morsitans morsitans, G. pallidipes and G. ...

The health and performance records of cattle and sheep used were collected over a three-year period, 1984-1986, at four network sites. Three of the sites, Avetonou (Togo), Boundiali (Cote d’Ivoire) and Mushie (Zaire) were chosen because of their high mean trypanosome of the live weight performanc...

The effects of trypanosome infection and of other factors on parturition interval were evaluated using records for parturitions, which occurred between January 1984 and December 1986 at the Network sites of Avetonu, Boundiali and Mushie. For Mushie some intervals, calculated using parturitions oc...

This paper determines whether tumour necrosis factor (TNF alpha) (a cytokine that is predominantly secreted by cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage) production is induced during bovine trypanosomiasis and wheather or not production is correlated with disease. TNF alpha titres in plasma from B...
