Activity Title	Haematology of N’Dama and West African Shorthorn cattle herds under natural Trypanosoma vivax challenge in Ghana
Details	Animal trypanosomosis, caused by trypanosomes mainly transmitted by tsetse flies results in annual economic losses in Africa in the range of US$ 1.0 - 1.2 billion in cattle production alone, and more than US$ 4.75 billion in terms of agricultural Gross Domestic Product (. The usual consequence of trypanosome infection is anaemia, which is often accompanied by poor growth, weight loss, low milk yield, infertility, abortion and paralysis (. The use of trypanotolerant cattle has not been given adequate consideration in integrated tsetse and trypanosomosis control programmes (. We previously reported natural n Objectives Course Objective Animal trypanosomosis is a major cause of economic loss in livestock production in Africa. A suggested control measure is to use breeds with traits of trypanotolerance. The study examines the effect of natural. -specific primers were used to diagnose. We found that haematological indices for infected and uninfected animals in both breeds were within the normal range. However, the mean PCV values for. Despite the presence of infection by n
