Discusses trypanotolerance in cattle and prospects for the control of trypanosomiasis by selective breeding in Africa. Looks into methods available for control including tsetse control, drugs & vaccination and discusses constraints that limit the control. Also discusses prospects for future contr...

Trypanotolerance in cattle and prospects for the control of trypanosomiasis by selective breeding
Past attempts to alleviate the problems of poor farmers engaged in mixed-crop-livestock production have generally focussed on the design and diffusion of new technologies targeted on specific components of the agroecosystem. Unfortunately, such piece-meal efforts have had little impact in the dev...

Trypanosomiasis remains the most important constraint to livestock production on the African continent. Chemotherapy, using curative and prophylactic drugs, is the main method of control of the disease in cattle. The exploitation of the trypanotolerance trait of some breeds of large and small rum...

The relationship between serum concentrations of the prophylactic trypanocidal drug isometamidium chloride and protection against tsetse challenge with two populations of Trypanosoma congolense was investigated in Boran (Bos indicus) cattle, using an isometamidium-ELISA. Isometamidium chloride (S...
