Epidemiology of Bovine Trypanosomosis and its Economic Impact in Tsetse-Infested and Tsetse-Free Areas of Amhara Region, North-West Ethiopi [PDF]
The epidemiology of bovine trypanosomosis was studied in tsetse-infested and tsetse-free areas of Amhara Regional State, North-West Ethiopia. A multidisciplinary work was undertaken to elucidate the key factors determining the presence of tsetse flies ...

No evidence for a recent genetic bottleneck in the endangered Sheko cattle breed (African Bos taurus) revealed by microsatellite analysis [PDF]
Sheko is African taurine cattle, valued for its milk yield, adaptation to humid tsetse infested environment and trypanotolerance. We used 30 microsatellite markers in analyzing 30 DNA samples. We found high genetic diversity and no genetic bottlenecks in
