“…According to researchers the trypanosomes can cause tissue inflammation directly as a result of the infection (Damayanti, 1993;Losos and Gwamaca, 1973;Sudarto et al, 1990), as well as leukocytosis was observed in sheep and cattle (Onah et al, 1996;Verma and Gautam, 1978). The increase in the number of monocytes found in horses (Silva et al, 1995a(Silva et al, , 1995b and cats (Da Silva et al, 2010) can occur. According to Quiñones et al (1994) T. evansi tropism for muscle tissue and the presence of high number inflammatory infiltrate of macrophages would be a major cause of monocytosis.…”

Trypanosoma evansi, the agent of “surra,” is a salivarian trypanosome, originating from Africa. It is thought to derive from Trypanosoma brucei by deletion of the maxicircle kinetoplastic DNA (genetic material required for cyclical development in tsetse flies). It is mostly mechanically transmitted by tabanids and stomoxes, initially to camels, in sub-Saharan area. The disease spread from North Africa towards the Middle East, Turkey, India, up to 53° North in Russia, across all South-East Asia, down to Indonesia and the Philippines, and it was also introduced by the conquistadores into Latin America. It can affect a very large range of domestic and wild hosts including camelids, equines, cattle, buffaloes, sheep, goats, pigs, dogs and other carnivores, deer, gazelles, and elephants. It found a new large range of wild and domestic hosts in Latin America, including reservoirs (capybaras) and biological vectors (vampire bats). Surra is a major disease in camels, equines, and dogs, in which it can often be fatal in the absence of treatment, and exhibits nonspecific clinical signs (anaemia, loss of weight, abortion, and death), which are variable from one host and one place to another; however, its immunosuppressive effects interfering with intercurrent diseases or vaccination campaigns might be its most significant and questionable aspect.

“…Trypanosoma evansi (T. evansi), causative agent of ''surra disease'' is a salivarian trypanosome which is pathogenic in camelids and also a broad range of domestic and wild animals worldwide and Iran (Zarif-Fard and Hashemi-Fesharki 2000;Hosseininejad et al 2007;Da Silva et al 2010;Derakhshanfar et al 2010;Sazmand et al 2011;Khosravi et al 2011;Ahmadi-hamedani et al 2014;Sow et al 2014). T. evansi is transmitted through the oral parts of hematophagous insects, mainly from the genera Tabanus sp.…”

“…Trypanosomosis is present in sub-Saharan and Mediterranean climates and so arid deserts and semiarid steppes (Desquesnes et al 2013). It occurs in different Asia countries such as Iran, Oman, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and African countries, South and Central America (Da Silva et al 2010;Sow et al 2014). In Iran, camel Trypanosomosis reported in east and south parts of the country with overall prevalence of 10% (Zarif-Fard and Hashemi-Fesharki 2000;Ahmadi-hamedani et al 2014).…”

is a cosmopolitan protozoan which affects camelids and may cause illness and economic losses. The present study was aimed to determine the prevalence and geographic distribution of . in Iranian one-humped camels of South East Iran. A total of 369 camels were randomly examined from three parts of southeastern Iran from March to September 2015. Blood samples were taken from jugular vein and examined by using thin blood smear and mercuric chloride test. Ninety-five out of 369 examined camels (25.75%) with clinical signs (15.8%, 58/369) were found to be infected with . The prevalence was significantly higher in camels more than 4 years-old (23.3%) with clinical signs (8.8%) than the other ones. There was no significant difference between the prevalence and sex (6.23% male and 19.51% female). infection was geographically found in all investigated regions with the highest prevalence in North (17.61%). The results indicated that infection was prevalent in Iranian one-humped camels which could be useful finding to lunch control programs in the region.
