“…This finding was in line with previous works conducted at different regions of Ethiopia by many authors [22,25]. In the absence of other diseases causing anemia, a low PCV value of individual animals is a good indicator of trypanosome infection [23,32]. Trypanosomosis might adversely lower the PCV values of infected animals [33].…”

“…In the current study, higher infection rate of trypanosomosis was detected in males (19.1%) as compared to in female cattle (10.67%) with statistically significant difference (X2= 13.886; p = 0.001). Different researchers work supported this finding [22][23][24][25]. Although the variation was not statistically significant, Yalew and Fantahun [26], and Teferi and Biniam [27] had also reported higher prevalence of bovine trypanosomes in males than in females (X2 = 0.85, p=0.35 and X2= 0.10, p>0.05, respectively).…”

“…But in this study area, the prevalence of T. vivaxwas less than T. congolense in both peasant associations because the two sites are located adjacent to tsetse infested belts. Leak [22] and Degneh et al [23] also indicated that T. vivax was highly susceptible to treatment while the problems of drug resistance were higher in T. congolense .…”

Tsetse flies in Ethiopia are confined to western and southwestern parts of the country between 33°C and 38°C E longitude and 5°C and 12°C N latitude. It is estimated to cover an area of 140, 000, 220, 000 km2 [7]. Tsetse infested areas follow the major river systems; namely, Abay (Blue Nile), Baro, Akobo, Didessa, Ghibe and Omo river systems [8]. Five species of Glossina (Glossina morsitans submorsitans, G. pallidipes, G. tachinozdes, G.f. fuscipes and G. longipennis) have been recorded in Ethiopia [3]. According to National Tsetse and Trypanosomosis Investigation and Control Center [7], tsetse transmitted animal trypanosomosis still remains as one of the largest causes of livestock production losses in Ethiopia. The effects of trypanosomosis is not only the direct losses resulting from mortality, morbidity, infertility of the Abstract Cross sectional study was conducted in Jabi Tehnan District of West Gojjam Administrative Zone of Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia to determine the prevalence of bovine trypanosomiasis. In the parasitological survey, blood samples of 164 cattle were examined using a buffy coat technique. The Packed Cell Volume (PVC) value of each animal was also measured using hematocrit reader. The overall prevalence of trypanosomiasis was found to be 15.24% and it consists of 9.76% and 20.73% in Adankegne and Ergib peasants' association, respectively (X 2 =5.783, p=0.056). The most positive cases were due to Trypanosoma congolense (T. congolense ) (80%) followed by Trypanosoma vivax (T. vivax) (20%). The mean(PCV) values of parasitaemic and aparasitaemic animals during the study period were 20.75% and 25.07%, respectively. The variation in mean PCV values were statistically significant (p=0.01). The study also demonstrated statistically significant (X2=13.886, p=0.001) variations in prevalence between sexes of cattle, which were 10.67% and 19.1% in female and male animals, respectively. The present prevalent study generated valuable information on the epidemiology of bovine trypanosomosis in the study area and revealed that trypanosomosis was an important disease affecting the livestock production.

“…The overall prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis in the study was 8.3%. This prevalence is well following the studies of ( Duguma et al, 2015 ; Mekuria and Gadisa, 2011 ; Degneh et al, 2018 ), in northwest and western Ethiopia, who reported an overall prevalence of 9.6%, 10.1%, and 11.16%, respectively. The similarity in prevalence with the current result may be due to similar agro-ecological conditions and management systems practiced in these areas.…”

A cross-sectional study was conducted in December 2018 in four purposively selected villages of Bedele district, Oromia Regional State, Southwest Ethiopia. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis and associated risk factors of trypanosome infections in cattle. A total of 384 blood samples were collected from systematically selected cattle and examined using buffy coat and thin blood smear examination methods. The overall prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis was 8.3%. Trypanosoma congolense (68.8%) and T. vivax (31.2%) were the prevailing trypanosome species identified in the area. A statistically significant difference ( P < 0.05) was observed in the prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis between body condition scores of cattle. The prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis was slightly higher in female (9%) as opposed to male (7.3%) cattle, but the difference was not statistically significant ( P > 0.05). Similarly, no statistically significant difference ( P > 0.05) was observed between age categories of cattle. The mean PCV value of trypanosome infected cattle (21.4 ± 3.6) was significantly ( P < 0.05) lower than that of non-infected (25.6 ± 4.6). The current study indicated that, despite vector control measures implemented for several years, bovine trypanosomosis persists and continues to be a core problem to cattle health and production in the Bedele district. Therefore, more attention should be given to control the disease and its vectors based on temporal and spatial distribution. Also, the use of molecular techniques should be encouraged in view of their greater sensitivity when compared to the buffy coat method.

“…Ethiopia has the largest prevalence in western, southern, southwest, and northern regions following the broader Abbay, Omo, Ghibe, and Baro River Basins as a result of trypanosomosis and among the most significant diseases limiting animal production and agricultural growth [ 17 , 18 ]. Trypanosome distribution is complex because of climate change, environmental disturbances, and human interference [ 19 ].…”

Background. Trypanosomosis is a significant impediment to Ethiopia’s livestock and farm production, adding adversely to the overall growth of agriculture in general and the nation’s food self-reliance efforts in particular. Methods. Cross-sectional research was performed on the prevalence of trypanosomosis in cattle and the distinction of Trypanosoma species and potential factors in six selected provinces of the Sodo zuriya district in southern Ethiopia. Blood samples from the ear vein of 400 local and exotic cattle species were taken randomly. A hematocrit reader was used after centrifugation at 12,000 rpm for a five-minute assessment of anemic conditions of animals, and the anemia of the thin blood spraying and buffy coat procedure was tested to assess the incidence, detection, and packaging of Trypanosoma and the cell volume of each sampled animal. Results. Accordingly, twenty cattle were positive for trypanosomosis, with an overall proportion of 5.0%. From this overall prevalence, Trypanosoma congolense (3.3%) and Trypanosoma vivax (1.8%) were the two common Trypanosoma species in this study. The highest and the lowest prevalence of trypanosomes occurred in Guttuto Larena (35%) and Dalbo Wogane (0.00%), respectively. Age-wise prevalence revealed that young adults (45%) were the most affected, followed by old adults (35%) and adults (20%). Cattle with poor body condition scores (65%) were the most affected, followed by cattle with medium (30%) and good (5%) body condition scores, and this was found to be statistically significant ( p ≤ 0.002 ). In addition, the variation in packed cell volume (PCV) between infected and noninfected cattle was significantly different ( p ≤ 0.0001 ). Conclusion. Thus, the present study revealed the predominance of bovine trypanosomosis in the region and had a significant effect on body condition and anemia growth. The government and public should then collaborate in parasite-observed areas on the disease’s management and prevention efforts in an environmentally sustainable way.
