African trypanosomiasis, caused by extracellular protozoan parasites (Trypanosoma), is, a major disease in cattle that affects agricultural production in broad regions of Africa. The, parasites are transmitted between mammals by infected tsetse flies (Glossina sp.) during, blood feeding. Both wil...

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...

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...

Data on approximately 4,000 head of N'Dama cattle kept in 60 herds under traditional management systems in The Gambia were analysed to estimate annual herd offtake rates during a 5 year period (1986-1990). Farm-gate sale prices and weight at sale of 428 cattle were analysed by least-squares ANOVA...
