Towards increased use of trypanotolerance: Current research and future directions. Proceedings of a workshop [PDF]
, 2010 This workshop was conceived in recognition of the fact that, over the years, a great deal of research has been conducted on trypanotolerance. With the advent of new and powerful means to identify markers and genes controlling traits of interest, and with

Combatting African Animal Trypanosomiasis (AAT) in livestock: The potential role of trypanotolerance [PDF]
Veterinary Parasitology, 2016 African Animal Trypanosomiasis (AAT) is endemic in at least 37 of the 54 countries in Africa. It is estimated to cause direct and indirect losses to the livestock production industry in excess of US$ 4.5 billion per annum. A century of intervention has yielded limited success, owing largely to the extraordinary complexity of the host-parasite ...

Identifying the Mechanisms of Trypanotolerance in Cattle
, 2005 Some West African cattle breeds such as N’Dama have survived in tsetse-infected areas for thousands of years and are productive under trypanosome challenge, a trait known as trypanotolerance. Elucidation of the mechanisms of trypanotolerance could lead to new options for disease control.

Mesures barymétriques chez le bétail Borgou dans le Nord-Est Bénin
Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1991 Des mesures barymétriques ont été faites sur 115 animaux de la race trypanotolérante Borgou, dans la province du Borgou au Bénin. L'équation de régression du poids Y sur le périmètre thoracique X : In Y = -8,081 + 2,712 In X, avec un coefficient de ...

Biological pathways discriminating african trypanotolerant and trypanosusceptible cattle breeds
, 2017 Animal African Trypanosomosis (AAT) is a vector-borne disease caused by blood protozoan parasites of the Trypanosoma genus. It represents a major constraint to the development of cattle breeding in the humid and sub-humid zones of Africa because of the high morbidity and mortality it causes.
