The first visible response in livestock to the bite of a trypanosome-infected tsetse fly is the formation of a localized skin reaction, also known as a chancre. This is an inflammatory response in the skin associated with swelling and an influx of cells. It is thought to be associated with an a...

This paper discusses past and present approaches to managing tsetse-transmitted animal trypanosomosis in Africa and describes the three main weaknesses of these approaches, i.e., inappropriate objectives, inadequate links between research and policy-making and a lack of recognition that trypano...

African animal trypanosomiasis constaints the production of milk, meat and animal traction across much of sub-Saharan Africa. The tsetse-transmitted disease is particularly important in Ethiopia where at least six million cattle are exposed to the disease. In 1000 a trypanosomiasis control progra...

Successful control of tsetse (Glossina spp.)-transmitted trypanosomiasis in the Ghibe Valley, Ethiopia, appears to have accelerated conversion of wooded grassland into cropland. Land conversion, in turn, may have fragmented wildlife habitat. The objective of this paper was to assess the influence...

The current control strategies for tsetse-transmitted trypanosomosis in cattle (trypanocidal drugs tsetse control and trypanotolerant cattle) are briefly reviewed and their adoption rates in different geographic regions of sub-Saharan Africa are presented. The impact of these control strategies a...

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...
