Effect of trypanosome infection on livestock health and production traits in two areas of Togo

Presents data on the prevalence, species and intensity of trypanosome infection found in different livestock species, breeds, age groups and management systems for cattle and sheep in the Avetonou area and for sheep and goats in the sokode area, Togo. Evaluates the effect of these trypanosome infections on health and production traits in cattl

Effect of trypanosome infection on livestock health and production in Togo

The prevalence, species and intensity of trypanosome parasitaemia in different livestock species, breeds, age groups and management systems are reported from Togo for trypanosotolerant sheep and goats in the Sokode area. The effects of these trypanosome parasitaemias on health and production traits in cattle and sheep are evaluated

Determination of tsetse challenge and its relationship with trypanosome prevalence in trypanotolerant livestock at sites of the African Trypanotolerant Livestock Network

Reports the determination of tsetse challenge at sites of the African Trypanotolerant Livestock Network and its relationships with trypanosome prevalence for the period 1984-1986. Lists the Network sites with trypanotolerant cattle or sheep together with the tsetse species detected. Discusses tsetse species captured, tsetse relative density, trypanosome infection rates and infection types in tsetse, and tsetse challenge and trypanosome prevalence in trypanotolerant livestock

Determination of tsetse challenge and its relationship with trypanosome prevalence in livestock within the African Trypanotolerant Livestock Network

Determines the tsetse challenge and its relationship with trypanosome prevalence in livestock at eleven sites within the African Trypanotolerant Livestock Network. Includes tsetse species, their distribution, habitats, and relative density; trypanosome infection rate; and frequency of vivax and congolense - type infection; also shows the overall tsetse challenge determined from the product of relative density; and tsetse challenge and trypanosome prevalence for trypanotolerant and other cattle herds

Genetic and environmental factors affecting the epizootiology and pathogenesis of trypanosomiasis in livestock at eight sites within the African Trypanotolerant Livestock Network

Studies the influence of livestock species, breed, age and lactational status on the prevalence, species and intensity of trypanosome infection in livestock at eight sites of the African Trypanotolerant livestock network in west, Central, and East Africa. Estimates the effect of trypanosome infections on the blood packed cell volume (PCV) of cattle for four characters, average PCV during gestation, at parturition, pre-weaning and at weaning. Reports also the effects of trypanosome infections on livestock viability, reproductive performance and live weights

Genetic and environmental factors affecting trypanosome prevalence and parasitaemia in livestock

Presents results of a consolidated study on genetic and environmental factors affecting trypanosome prevalence and parasitaemia in livestock from the ten sites of the African Trypanotolerance Network. Includes data on prevalence in sheep, goats and cattle, prevalence in three age classes of cattle, sheep, prevalence of female physiological-status classes in cattle, prevalence when gestating and not gestating

Trypanosome infections and other factors influencing PCV in livestock

Reviews some of the important factors influencing PCV value in livestock in six network sites. Includes data on the effect of no. of months with trypanosome parasitaemia on PCV in Djallonke sheep, pre-aand pos-partum on ewe PCV during lactation, on PCV of cattle, on PCV of N'Dama cattle; and PCV pre-weaning of male & female progens
