“…This biomolecular technique has developed and is widely used in several countries to overcome the limitations of conventional and serological tests. But in diagnosis, Surra requires at least two diagnostic tests to confirm the presence of T. evansi in the infected animals [5] [6]. In determining of the status of Surra-free areas, the CATT serial test is recommended, and or followed by retest the sampel, preferably when equipped with PCR [23].…”

Surra is one of the main disease problems in buffalo farms in East Sumba Island. The control program of this disease requires the support of diagnostic methods that are reliable and cost-effective. This study aimed to select the diagnostic method for surra based on the economic value of each diagnostic method, including parasitology tests (WBF), Micro-Hematocrit Centrifugation Technique (MHCT), Card Agglutination Trypanosome Test/T. evansi (CATT), and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Data was collected from various sources including from survey of 30 buffalo farmers on East Sumba Island, Surra cases from the East Sumba Livestock Service Office, diagnostic test data from the Veterinary Research Institute, Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture and various supporting literatures. The economic value of each diagnostic test was analyzed by the decision tree analysis model using WinQSB software. The results showed that the PCR method has the highest economic value of IDR781.3 million, and then followed sequentially by MHCT IDR.668.4 million, CATT / T. evansi IDR 505.5 million and WBF IDR 114.5 million.Based on this study it is recommended to use PCR as a diagnostic test method in controlling Surra disease in buffaloes on East Sumba by considering its economic value.

relevant economical impact due to weight loss, abortion and mortality. Cattle moved from the Pantanal to adjacent areas of this ecosystem for breeding and fattening is a common feature. Therefore an epidemiological study on breeding cows in the transition area between Pantanal lowland and adjacent highlands of Mato Grosso do Sul was performed to determine the T. vivax infection dynamics and outbreak risk. Three experimental groups were formed: Group 1 consisted of cows parasitologically negative by the Woo test and in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for T. vivax antibody detection (Tv-ELISA-Ab); Group 2 parasitologically negative and positive in the Tv-ELISA-Ab; and in Group 3 cows were parasitologically positive and with positive reactions in the Tv-ELISAAb. During 24 months, the cows' dislodgment between the above established groups was monitored by Woo test and Tv-ELISA-Ab exams. The tabanid population was also monitored and the highest number occurred during the rainy season. Although parasitemias were detected only in the first four samplings of the experimental period, the cows could be considered as trypanotolerant, because no clinical signs were observed. Despite the higher T. vivax incidence during the dry season, no disease symptoms were seen. Even though T. vivax epidemiological situation in the herd was characterized as endemic with seasonal variation, the probability of outbreaks was null within the conditions of the study.

“…Trypanosoma evansi possui a maior diversidade de hospedeiros vertebrados e a maior distribuição geográfica entre os tripanossomas patogênicos, com presença na Europa, Ásia, Oriente Médio, Américas Central e do Sul, além da África (FRANCISCATO et al, 2007;GONZALES et al, 2007;ADRIAN et al, 2010;HAGOS et al, 2010;MILOCCO et al, 2012). A diversidade de hospedeiros inclui mamíferos de várias ordens, tanto domésticos quanto silvestres.…”
