Marker-assisted introgression of Trypanotolerance QTL in mice
Mammalian Genome, 2005 A marker-assisted introgression (MAI) experiment was conducted to use genetic markers to transfer each of the three trypanotolerance QTL from a donor mouse strain, C57BL/6, into a recipient mouse strain, A/J. We used a backcross strategy that consisted of selecting two lines, each carrying two of the donor QTL alleles through the backcross (BC) phase ...

Note sur les limites de la trypanotolérance des bovins de race N'Dama ; observations faites en Guinée [PDF]
Tropicultura, 1983 A note on the observation made in Guinea concerning limitation of trypanotolerance in N'Dama cattle. An inquiry carried out in Guinea has revealed that the disappearance of trypanotolerance within some local N'Dama cattle can not be attributed to the ...

BMC Genomics, 2010 Background Trypanosomosis is the most economically important disease constraint to livestock productivity in Africa. A number of trypanotolerant cattle breeds are found in West Africa, and identification of the genes conferring trypanotolerance could ...

MIF contributes to Trypanosoma brucei associated immunopathogenicity development [PDF]
, 2014 African trypanosomiasis is a chronic debilitating disease affecting the health and economic well-being of many people in developing countries. The pathogenicity associated with this disease involves a persistent inflammatory response, whereby M1-type ...

Cahiers Agricultures, 2020 La sélection génétique est un moyen pour augmenter la productivité des races endémiques dans des environnements hostiles. La trypanotolérance du bovin N’Dama a été l’argument central de la mise en œuvre des programmes de sélection de cette race en Gambie,

Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2005 Studies on the trypanotolerance of Orma Boran X Maasai Zebu (Orma Zebu) crossbred cattle (F1 progeny) and pure-bred Maasai Zebu contemporaries were carried out in Nguruman, south western Kenya. The two groups were monitored from birth for a period of 2

BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 African trypanosomosis is a chronic debilitating disease affecting the health and economic well‐being of developing countries. The immune response during African trypanosome infection consisting of a strong proinflammatory M1‐type activation of the myeloid phagocyte system (MYPS) results in iron deprivation for these extracellular parasites.

Host Susceptibility to African Trypanosomiasis: Trypanotolerance
, 1982 Publisher Summary The exploitation of genetic resistance to disease is an important consideration in livestock development programs, where conventional disease control measures are not effective or are too costly. Such an approach may be directly applicable to African animal trypanosomiasis.

Comparative genome analysis of trypanotolerance QTL
Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 2009 Certain breeds of domestic ruminants show remarkable resistance to the effects of African trypanosomosis. Unlike susceptible animals, trypanotolerant animals control parasitemia and do not showsevere anaemia or production loss. Identification of trypanotolerance genes in cattle is hampered by cost and breeding time.
