The genetic diversity within indigenous livestock breeds of countries like Ethiopia results from the diverse ways in which these resources have been used to support human livelihoods and their ability to cop with the specific environments in which they have been kept. The genes and gene combinati...

Several studies have shown different positive and negative cases of livestock and environmental interactions in the different eco-regions of the world and under a variety of production systems. They have been related to inadequate policies, pressures for intensification of production systems led ...

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...
