Bronsvoort, B.M. de C.Wissmann, B. vonFèvre, Eric M.Handel, I.G.Picozzi, K.Welburn, S.C.[No gold standard estimation of the sensitivity and specificity of two molecular diagnostic protocols for Trypanosoma brucei spp. in Western Kenya]No gold standard estimation of the sensitivity and specificity of two molecular diagnostic protocols for Trypanosoma brucei spp. in Western Kenya

Nagana, a vector-borne epizootic caused by trypanosomes, severely constrains the use of draught animals in the cotton zone of south-eastern Mali. The disease causes considerable economic losses for the local farmers due to high mortality and morbidity ensuing productivity losses. Nagana is routin...


Hoppenheit, A.Steuber, S.Bauer, B.Ouma, E.M.Diall, O.Zessin, K.H.Clausen, P.H.[Host preference of tsetse: An important tool to appraise the Nagana risk of cattle in the cotton zone of Mali]Host preference of tsetse: An important tool to appraise the Nagana risk of cattle in the cotton zone of Mali

A one-year longitudinal study was conducted in 92 smallholder diary farms in Kwale district of Kenya, to evaluate the efficacy of Spot-on® (a 10% deltamethrin pour-on) in the control of East Coast fever, anaplasmosis, babesiosis and trypanosomosis. A comparison of the annual incidence and mortali...

Many challenges face tick genomics. Ticks have large genomes and their estimated sizes vary from 1.04~7.1 x10(9) bp, about one third to over two times the size of the human genome. Karyotype studies have revealed a range in chromosome number and the sex determining system seems to be primarily dr...

Divergent breeding lines of Romney sheep, selected as lambs for consistently high or low faecal worm egg count (FEC) following natural multi-species challenge by nematode parasites, were established in New Zealand at Wallaceville Animal Research Centre in 1979 and at Rotomahana Station in 1985. I...

Contrasting herbage diets were fed to lambs to evaluate their effect on subsequent development of Trichostrongylus colubriformis larvae in faeces and on pasture. The diets had either no condensed tannin (CT), lucerne (Medicago sativa cv. Otaio), white clover (Trifolium repens cv. Tahora), or had ...


Niezen, J.H.Waghorn, G.C.Graham, T.Carter, J.L.Leathwick, D.M[The effect of diet fed to lambs on subsequent development of Trichostrongylus colubriformis larvae in vitro and on pasture]The effect of diet fed to lambs on subsequent development of Trichostrongylus colubriformis larvae in vitro and on pasture

The parasite strain specificity of CTL responses to Theileria parva varies among cattle immunized with the same parasite stock. We have investigated the influence of class I MHC on the strain specificity of CTL responses to T. parva in 19 cattle of defined class I phenotype immunized with either ...

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...


Boulange, A.F.Khamadi, S.A.Pillay, D.Coetzer, T.H.T.Authié, E.[Production of congopain, the major cysteine protease of Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense, in Pichia pastoris reveals unexpected dimerization at physiological Ph]Production of congopain, the major cysteine protease of Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense, in Pichia pastoris reveals unexpected dimerization at physiological Ph

The effect of millet, Pennisetum typhoideum Rich. (Poaceae), leaf nitrogen content on fitness parameters of the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria Forsk. (Orthoptera: Acrididae), was studied under laboratory conditions. Locusts reared on high-nitrogen leaves were larger, developed faster, had h...
