TL;DR: Tests in cattle are described that may be used to determine the efficacy of recommended curative doses of trypanocidal drugs for the treatment of infection with individual trypanosome isolates, including Trypanosoma vivax, which is rarely infective for mice.

TL;DR: The results of the present study indicated clear difference in pathogenicity between the three types of T. congolense; the savannah-type was virulent while the forest- type was of low pathogeniability and the kilifi-typewas non-pathogenic.

TL;DR: Wing geometry revealed significant centroid size and shape differences between populations, especially between the two most distant populations, and there was a positive correlation in females between metric distances (wing shape differences) and geographic distances that might be attributed to the cline of environmental conditions.

TL;DR: The demonstration of widespread resistance to both isometamidium and diminazene has important implications, as administration of trypanocides is the most commonly employed method to control trypanosomosis in this area.

TL;DR: The appearance of a multiple-drug-resistant strain of T. congolense emphasizes the urgent need for new chemical substances as trypanocidal drugs and the increasing importance of efficient vector control.
