More data are required on the role of different species of tsetse, different species of trypanosomes, and different species of wildlife in the transmission of infection between wild animals, man, and domestic livestock in order that effective control measures can be enacted. The immune response to the trypanosome of wildlife hosts of different species is evaluated. Whether or not, wild animals that recover from trypanosome infections recognize the same common antigens as trypanotolerant cattle, is also investigated. Such antigens might be of major importance in developing new immunodiagnostic tests or even vaccines.
