Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) in bovine trypanotolerance: preliminary results [PDF]
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2003 In Africa, trypanosomosis is a tsetse-transmitted disease which represents the most important constraint to livestock production. Several indigenous West African taurine (Bos taurus) breeds, such as the Longhorn (N'Dama) cattle are well known to control ...

Immune Response in Cattle Trypanosomosis and Trypanotolerance: Main Findings and Gaps
Parasite ImmunologyABSTRACT Trypanosome parasites of the genus Trypanosoma cause African animal trypanosomosis, a devastating livestock disease plaguing sub‐Saharan Africa. Unlike many protozoan parasites, these extracellular blood‐borne pathogens directly engage the host's immune system ...

Breeding of African sheep reared under low-input/output smallholder production systems for trypanotolerance [PDF]
Veterinary World, 2022 Trypanosomiasis is a disease caused by unicellular protozoan parasites. Small ruminants succumb to trypanosomiasis in areas of high tsetse fly challenge, resulting in serious economic loss often to farmers in low-input smallholder systems.

Computational Identification of Master Regulators Influencing Trypanotolerance in Cattle [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 African Animal Trypanosomiasis (AAT) is transmitted by the tsetse fly which carries pathogenic trypanosomes in its saliva, thus causing debilitating infection to livestock health. As the disease advances, a multistage progression process is observed based on the progressive clinical signs displayed in the host’s body.

The COMBAT project: controlling and progressively minimizing the burden of vector-borne animal trypanosomosis in Africa [PDF]
Open Research Europe, 2022 Vector-borne diseases affecting livestock have serious impacts in Africa. Trypanosomosis is caused by parasites transmitted by tsetse flies and other blood-sucking Diptera.

Local Ancestry to Identify Selection in Response to Trypanosome Infection in Baoulé x Zebu Crossbred Cattle in Burkina Faso [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 The genomes of crossbred (admixed) individuals are a mosaic of ancestral haplotypes formed by recombination in each generation. The proportion of these ancestral haplotypes in certain genomic regions can be responsible for either susceptibility or ...

Search for Selection Signatures Related to Trypanosomosis Tolerance in African Goats [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Livestock is heavily affected by trypanosomosis in Africa. Through strong selective pressure, several African indigenous breeds of cattle and small ruminants have acquired varying degrees of tolerance against this disease. In this study, we combined LFMM

Trypanotolerance Sheko Cattle: An Option for Sustainable Control of Bovine Trypanosomiasis
Open Veterinary Science, 2021 Trypanosomiasis is an impediment to cattle production and other agricultural development in tsetse-infested areas. It is a severe parasitic disease that causes loss in the production and performance of cattle.
