sented their work on antigenicity in trypanosomes and Theileria,
while invited speakers presented findings on antigenicity in other
parasites. New approaches to the diagnosis of parasitic diseases
were also discussed.

This book comprises summaries of presentations given at a workshop
on the mechanisms of natural genetic exchange in trypanosomes,
their frequency in wild populations, and their significance in
the epidemiology of trypanosomiasis. New results of research work
on genetic exchange by sexual or other processes in trypanosomes
and the processes of genetic exchange in other protozoa are reviewed.

This special supplement of Animal Genetics (Volume 19, Supplement
1) reviews what is known about the major histocompatibility
complex class II regions in livestock species, what still needs to be
researched in this area, the most efficient ways of conducting this
research in light of similar research being conducted in human and
laboratory animals, and what the rewards of this research are likely to
be regarding ILRAD’s search for genes associated with livestock
resistance or susceptibility to diseases.
