ABSTRACT
Tolerance to African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) among several animal species involves a
wide milieu of factors which modulate the animal’s response to the disease and is considered a
breed attribute. To investigate the effect of breed on tolerance/resilience to trypanosome
infection on pubertal boars, nine (9) Nigerian Native and nine (9) Large-White x Landrace
crossbreed boars were experimentally inoculated with laboratory samples of Trypanosoma
brucei brucei. Their comparative responses with regard to clinical symptoms, growth parameters,
histopathological and histometrical features of the testis, Sertoli and germ cell numbers and
spermatogenic output including cell ratios and daily sperm production were studied over two
study periods- 63 days post infection (63d p.i.) and 98 days post infection (98d p.i.). Results
obtained indicated that infected boars of both breeds were clearly parasitaemic in the first study
period, with a significant (P
