title: Trypanosomes, tsetse and trypanotolerance: coevolution in tropical Africa.
abstract: Trypanotolerance reaches varying degrees of stability in wild and domestic animals according to their co-evolutionary contacts with tsetse flies and trypanosomes. In this context, various mechanisms developed by wild and domestic Bovidae to cope with tsetse and trypanosome challenge are discussed.
