Trypanotolerant livestock: Potential and future exploitation [PDF]

Outlook on Agriculture, 2011
The exploitation of genetic resistance to infectious diseases is being given increasing attention in livestock development programmes. This is particularly the case in developing countries where it is estimated that 70 per cent of the world's livestock resources exist but where conventional disease control measures are often not effective, do not ...

Genomic signatures of adaptive introgression and environmental adaptation in the Sheko cattle of southwest Ethiopia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Although classified as an African taurine breed, the genomes of Sheko cattle are an admixture of Asian zebu and African taurine ancestries. They populate the humid Bench Maji zone in Sheko and Bench districts in the south-western part of Ethiopia and are

Candidate signatures of positive selection for environmental adaptation in indigenous African cattle: A review

Animal Genetics, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 689-708, December 2023., 2023
AbstractEnvironmental adaptation traits of indigenous African cattle are increasingly being investigated to respond to the need for sustainable livestock production in the context of unpredictable climatic changes. Several studies have highlighted genomic regions under positive selection probably associated with adaptation to environmental challenges ...

Population structure, inbreeding and admixture in local cattle populations managed by community‐based breeding programs in Burkina Faso

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 138, Issue 3, Page 379-388, May 2021., 2021
Abstract High‐throughput genomic markers provide an opportunity to assess important indicators of genetic diversity for populations managed in livestock breeding programs. While well‐structured breeding programs are common in developed countries, in developing country situations, especially in West Africa, on‐farm performance and pedigree recordings ...

Discovery of mating in the major African livestock pathogen Trypanosoma congolense [PDF]

, 2009
The protozoan parasite, Trypanosoma congolense, is one of the most economically important pathogens of livestock in Africa and, through its impact on cattle health and productivity, has a significant effect on human health and well being.

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.

Biphasic survival analysis of trypanotolerance QTL in mice [PDF]

Heredity, 2008
A marker-assisted introgression (MAI) experiment was conducted to transfer trypanotolerance quantitative trait loci (QTL) from a donor mouse strain, C57BL/6, into a recipient mouse strain, A/J. The objective was to assess the effect of three previously identified chromosomal regions on mouse chromosomes 1 (MMU1), 5 (MMU5) and 17 (MMU17) in different ...

Community Perception on Trypanosomosis, Parasitological, and Entomological Studies in Two Selected Districts of South Omo Zone, Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Participatory investigation and trypanosomosis prevalence studied during April 2019 and March 2020 in two selected districts of South Omo, Ethiopia. The study site is located in the gridline of 04.90 to 5.60oN and 35.80 to 36.900 E. Twelve community groups are employed.
