Obata, T.Satoh, M.Takeda, H.[Conservation and utilization of beef cattle genetic resources in Japan]Conservation and utilization of beef cattle genetic resources in Japan

Heartwater, a tick-borne disease of domestic and wild ruminants, is caused by the intracellular rickettsia Ehrlichia ruminantium (previously known as Cowdria ruminantium). It is a major constraint to livestock production throughout subSaharan Africa, and it threatens to invade the Americas, yet t...


Collins, N.E.Liebenberg, J.Villiers, Etienne P. deBrayton, K.A.Louw, E.Pretorius, A.Faber, F.E.Heerden, H. vanJosemans, A.Kleef, M. vanSteyn, H.C.Strijp, M.F. vanZweygarth, E.Jongejan, F.Maillard, J.C.Berthier, D.Botha, M.Joubert, F.Corton, C.H.Thomson, N.R.Allsopp, M.T.Allsopp, B.A.[The genome of the heartwater agent Ehrlichia ruminantium contains multiple tandem repeats of actively variable copy number]The genome of the heartwater agent Ehrlichia ruminantium contains multiple tandem repeats of actively variable copy number

Demographic parameters are useful for assessing productivity and dynamics of tropical livestock populations. Common parameters are the annual instantaneous hazard rates, which can be estimated by m/T (where m represents the number of the considered demographic events occurred during the year and ...


Lesnoff, Matthieu[Evaluation of 12-month interval methods for estimating animal-times at risk in a traditional African livestock farming system]Evaluation of 12-month interval methods for estimating animal-times at risk in a traditional African livestock farming system

The shift towards community participation in the eradication of trypanosomosis calls for investigation the underlying incentive structure for individuals in the community to cooperate in the provision of various control methods. Survey data were used to assess patterns of the community's demand f...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) probes were used to characterize trypanosomes from cattle in Morogoro region of Tanzania. Blood samples collected from 390 beef and dairy cattle in selected farms in Morogoro region were examined for presence of trypanosomes using th...


Mugittu, K.N.Silayo, R.S.Majiwa, P.A.O.Kimbita, E.K.Mutayoba, B.M.MaSelle, R.[Application of PCR and DNA probes in the characterisation of trypanosomes in the blood of cattle in farms in Morogoro, Tanzania]Application of PCR and DNA probes in the characterisation of trypanosomes in the blood of cattle in farms in Morogoro, Tanzania

Teneral tsetse flies infected with either Trvpanosoma brucei or T. vivax were fed on healthy cattle. Blood samples collected daily from the cattle were examined by microscopy for the presence of trypanosomes, in thick smear, thin smear and in the buffy coat (BC). All the cattle fed upon by infect...


Masake, R.A.Njuguna, J.T.Brown, C.C.Majiwa, P.A.O.[The application of PCR-ELISA to the detection of Trypanosoma brucei and T. vivax infections in livestock]The application of PCR-ELISA to the detection of Trypanosoma brucei and T. vivax infections in livestock

Current approaches to estimate freshwater use in livestock production systems generally fail to consider the competition for water resources with alternative uses, such as production of food crops food or other ecosystem services. This article presents a new method to account for the competition ...


Ran, YlvaMiddelaar, C.E.M VanLannerstad, MatsHerrero, Mario T.Boer, Imke J.M. de[Freshwater use in livestock production—To be used for food crops or livestock feed?]Freshwater use in livestock production—To be used for food crops or livestock feed?

The analysis of value chains has augmented our knowledge on the complexities, inter-linkages, distributional benefits, and institutional arrangements of production and marketing channels in developing countries. However, the analysis remains relatively qualitative and case-specific, with limited ...
