This chapter describes the meaning of trypanotolerance and its implication as used with trypanotolerant livestock that are known and studied for many years in West Africa. This trait is observed in many West African breeds of cattle that survive in areas of tsetse fly challenge where the humped zebu cannot.

Trypanotolerance : an individual not a breed character
Acta tropica, 1983Ten animals from a reputedly trypanosensitive bovine breed, the Zebu, and ten from a reputedly trypanotolerant breed, the Baoulé, were exposed to natural trypanosome challenge in an area of high Glossina density. The ten Zebus and five of the Baoulés died within 6 to 11 weeks with heavy parasitaemia and severe anaemia.

Parasitology Today, 1987
Genetic resistance to disease and its use in domestic livestock usually ranks last, if at all, amongst preferred disease control measures - usually preceded by measures such as chemotherapy, vector control and vaccination. Thus, interest in genetic resistance is often a reflection of dissatisfaction with other control strategies, and the current ...

The Genetics of Trypanotolerance in Cattle: A Review
Tropical Veterinarian, 2003Trypanosomosis is a major recognized factor limiting livestock productivity. Control of the disease has explored the use of drugs, vector and the farming of trypanotolerant livestock in order to enhance productivity. However, there are documented difficulties with each of the methods.

Management strategies for trypanotolerant draught animals in West Africa [PDF]
, 2003 This paper identifies the problems in using trypanotolerant cattle for work in the tsetseinfested ecological zones in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The interactions that occur between nutrition, work and tolerance in various types of infection are reviewed. The current feeding resources and practices that are available are identified.

Trypanosomes, tsetse and trypanotolerance: coevolution in tropical Africa.
Parassitologia, 1997Trypanotolerance reaches varying degrees of stability in wild and domestic animals according to their co-evolutionary contacts with tsetse flies and trypanosomes. In this context, various mechanisms developed by wild and domestic Bovidae to cope with tsetse and trypanosome challenge are discussed.

Study of bovine trypanotolerance by whole transcriptome analysis.
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2009African trypanosomiases are parasitic diseases transmitted by tse-tse flies, considered as the main sanitary obstacle to animal production development in sub-Saharan Africa. However, if trypanosomiases have dramatic consequences on zebu (Bos indicus) populations, they have a weaker impact on the western African taurine (Bos taurus), which is known to ...

African Animal trypanosomosis, caused by blood protozoan parasites transmitted mainly by tsetse flies, represents a major constraint for millions of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa. Exposed cattle include trypanosusceptible indicine breeds, severely affected by the disease, and West African taurine breeds called trypanotolerant owing to their ability to ...
