PLoS Negl Trop Dis . 2025 Jan; 19(1):e0012541. PMID: 39836697
African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) in cattle is primarily managed through trypanocide administration and insecticide application. Trypanocides can be used for both treatment and prophylaxis, but failure is often reported; this...

Yalcindag E, Vasoya D, Hemmink J, Karani B, Hernandez Castro L, Callaby R, et al.
Front Vet Sci . 2025 Jan; 11:1491828. PMID: 39758606
One of the principal limitations on livestock productivity in sub-Saharan Africa is the constraining effect of infectious diseases, including tick-borne blood pathogens. Currently, diagnostic markers for these pathogens are species...

Saldanha I, Lea R, Manangwa O, Garrod G, Haines L, Acosta-Serrano A, et al.
PLoS Negl Trop Dis . 2024 Aug; 18(8):e0012095. PMID: 39133740
Background: Tsetse flies (Glossina sp.) are vectors of Trypanosoma brucei subspecies that cause human African trypanosomiasis (HAT). Capturing and screening tsetse is critical for HAT surveillance. Classically, tsetse have been...

Morrison L, Barrett M, Steketee P, Cecchi G, Kijanga O, Mramba F, et al.
Trends Parasitol . 2024 Jul; 40(8):679-686. PMID: 39048503
A welcome resurgence in African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) research has resulted in advances in capabilities, foundational datasets, and understanding. Additionally, there is the prospect of the first new trypanocide in...

Talenti A, Wilkinson T, Cook E, Hemmink J, Paxton E, Mutinda M, et al.
Commun Biol . 2024 Jul; 7(1):792. PMID: 38951693
The African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) is a wild bovid with a historical distribution across much of sub-Saharan Africa. Genomic analysis can provide insights into the evolutionary history of the species,...

Saldanha I, Betson M, Vrettou C, Paxton E, Nixon J, Tennant P, et al.
Sci Rep . 2024 Feb; 14(1):4158. PMID: 38378867
Animal African trypanosomiasis (AAT) is a significant food security and economic burden in sub-Saharan Africa. Current AAT empirical and immunodiagnostic surveillance tools suffer from poor sensitivity and specificity, with blood...

Riggio V, Madder M, Labuschagne M, Callaby R, Zhao R, Djikeng A, et al.
Front Genet . 2023 Aug; 14:1197160. PMID: 37576560
The control of tick-borne haemoparasites in cattle largely relies on the use of acaricide drugs against the tick vectors, with some vaccination also being used against selected pathogens. These interventions...
