The Socio-Economic Impact of Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis

Abstract

This thesis concerns the development, validation and use of enzymelinked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) to determine homidium concentrations in sera of treated cattle. Previously published work with particular emphasis on control and specifically, chemotherapy of animal trypanosomiasis are reviewed in Chapter One. This includes the development and use of trypanocidal drugs detailing previous analytical techniques used in the determination of drug levels in plasma/serum of treated cattle.
