The role of anti‐variable surface glycoprotein antibody responses in bovine trypanotolerance
Parasite Immunology, 1996 It has been reported that some breeds of cattle such as the N'Dama mount a more effective antibody response to the variable surface glycoprotein coat of trypanosomes and that this may contribute to their ability to control the infection. Thus we have investigated antibody responses to surface exposed epitopes of the variable surface glycoprotein in ...

Breeding for trypanotolerance in African cattle
Trypanosomosis, or sleeping sickness, is one of the most important livestock diseases in Africa. Some West African cattle breeds show a degree of resistance to a trypanosome infection: they are trypanotolerant. At the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) in Nairobi, Kenya, an F2 experiment has been established to unravel the genetic ...
