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

Abstract

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
