Abstract: Trypanosoma (Duttonella) vivax is an important cause of economic losses among feedlot cattle. These losses are related to the morbidity, mortality, reproductive issues and decreased production. It is known that the clinical signs observed in infections by this protozoon are similar to other hemoparasitosis, which difficult the diagnosis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to detect and molecularly characterize an outbreak of trypanosomiasis caused by T. (D.) vivax in dairy cattle in the municipality of São M… Show more

“…Trypanosoma vivax is one of the most important Trypanosoma species known to infect both domestic and wild animals [ 4 , 5 ]. Trypanosoma vivax is reported from cattle, dromedary camel, [ 6 ], goat, sheep, pig, dog [ 7 ], horse, donkey [ 8 ], both domesticated and wild buffalo, warthog, hippopotamus, reedbuck, waterbuck [ 9 ], antelope [ 10 ], giraffe [ 11 ], rhinoceros [ 12 ], rodents, pangolins, primates, reptiles and different wild ungulates and carnivores [ 13 ].…”

“…In Sub-Saharan Africa, T. vivax is mainly transmitted by tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae ) in which the parasite can multiply and remain infective throughout the insect’s life [ 14 ]. The parasite has the ability to be transmitted mechanically by hematophagous flies such as Tabanus spp., Stomoxys calcitrans and Haematobia irritans, which are responsible for the spread of T. vivax in tsetse-free areas of Africa and in Latin America [ 4 , 15 – 18 ]…”

“…In Sub-Saharan Africa, T. vivax is mainly transmitted by tsetse ies (Diptera: Glossinidae) in which the parasite can multiply and remain infective throughout the insect's life [14]. The parasite has acquired the ability to be also transmitted mechanically by hematophagous ies like Tabanus spp., Stomoxys calcitrans and Haematobia irritans, which are responsible for the spread of T. vivax in tsetse free areas of Africa and in Latin America [4,[15][16][17][18] T. vivax infection can be suspected by clinical and/or serological evidence and can be con rmed by parasitological or molecular methods [19]. Reported prevalences of T. vivax show considerable variation with geography, abundance of tsetse or blood sucking ies, and host species.…”

“…Trypanosomosis caused by T. vivax is an important cause of economic losses related to morbidity, mortality, reproductive issues and decreased production [4]. For example, economic losses associated with bovine trypanosomosis have been estimated to be around US$5 billion a year in Africa and the continent spend at least $30 million every year to control bovine trypanosomosis in terms of curative and prophylactic treatments [21].…”
