African animal trypanosomosis (nagana) is arguably the most important parasitic disease affecting livestock in sub-Saharan Africa. Since none of the existing control measures are entirely satisfactory, vaccine development is being actively pursued. However, due to antigenic variation, the quest f...

Presents the results of a study on the village sheep and goat production systems in the humid tropical zone of south-west Nigeria. Herd and flock population dynamics was outlined with discussions on: the importance of goat and sheep production in the area; suggestions for methods of improvement a...

In many African countries where both Government resources and donor aid for the control of tsetse-transmitted trypanosomiasis are declining, there is an increasing need to identify areas where intervention is most likely to be technically, economically, socially and environmentally sustainable. A...

Tsetse control is often applied to an area which covers several herds. To carry out a trial using an uncontrolled area would be difficult because of the virtual impossibility of findings two areas identical in every respect. One solution (method 1) is to compare animal productivity before and aft...

This article attempts to evaluate the current state of knowledge on questions such as, to what extent is inheritance important and how is it influenced by environmental factors; what are the mechanisms underlying increased resistance; and how productive are these breeds under various levels of ch...

The significance of Glossina fusca group tsetse flies as vectors of cattle trypanosomiasis was examined using biconical traps to survey tsetse populations at one site in Gabon and two sites in Zaire. Mean trypanosome infection rates in G. tabaniformis Westwood over the study period ranged from 8....
