Genetic variation of Nigerian cattle inferred from maternal and paternal genetic markers [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The African cattle provide unique genetic resources shaped up by both diverse tropical environmental conditions and human activities, the assessment of their genetic diversity will shade light on the mechanism of their remarkable adaptive capacities.

Genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships in local cattle breeds of Senegal based on autosomal microsatellite markers [PDF]
Veterinary World, 2015 Aim: In Senegal, uncontrolled cross-breeding of cattle breeds and changes in production systems are assumed to lead to an increase of gene flow between populations. This might constitute a relevant threat to livestock improvement.
