Bovine trypanosomiasis is prevalent in southwest Ethiopia infested with tsetse flies. Since 1986, East African Zebu cattle raised under trypanosomiasis risk in the Ghibe Valley of southwest Ethiopia have been studied to investigate the effects of trypanosmiasis on health and productivity. Approxi...

Variations in susceptibility to the effects of trypanosmiasis in East African Zebu cattle
Analysis of serum antibody responses in cattle experimentally infected with Trypanosoma congolense suggested that antibody responses of trypanosusceptible Boran cattle are less efficient in isotype switching and affinity maturation than those of trypanotolerant N'Dama cattle. High levels of polys...
Examines background to some of the economic analysis done in the African Trypanotolerant Livestock Network; defines some models of animal production; presents results of experiments with the ILCA microcomputer herd model about some important problems in the Network and projects returns to gains o...

The trypanosomiasis research programme in the Laboratory has two broad objectives. First, to develop approaches and technologies which will enable currently available control strategies to be applied more effectively and, second, to develop novel means of control. Trypanosomiasis control at pres...
