“…Sam-Wobo et al, (2010) also reported no significant difference in the infection prevalence of male and female animals. Sex dimorphism in trypanosomosis has been previously reported (Abenga et al, 2004;Agu et al, 1990, Agu & Amadi, 2001). Our current finding may not have supported this theory because occurrence of any disease is dependent on many factors of which sex is just one of them.…”

“…Several studies on animal trypanosomosis have been carried out in Nigeria. Such studies were carried out in the northern parts of the country (Agu et al, 1990;Kalu et al, 1991;Ahmed & Agbede, 1993;Kalu & Lawani, 1996;Onyia, 1997;Abenga, et al, 2004;), and in the South (Agu & Amadi, 2001;Ameen et al, 2008). Information on the status of trypanosomosis in southern Nigeria needs to be updated especially in Oyo State.…”

This study investigated the prevalence of bovine Trypanosomosis in three farms in Iddo Local Government Area of Oyo State, Nigeria. Blood samples were obtained from 320 cattle of 3 different breeds (55 Muturu, 65 Sokoto Gudali and 200 White Fulani), using standard field and laboratory techniques. 15 cattle representing an infection prevalence of 4.69% were infected with trypanosomes. The individual prevalence of Trypanosoma vivax and T. brucei was found to be 66.67% and 33.33% respectively. The breed prevalence of infection in Muturu, Sokoto Gudali and White Fulani were 5.45%, 3.08% and 5.0% respectively. Male cattle showed a prevalence rate of 4.52% while females showed 4.96%. Age prevalence was highest among cattle of above 3years old (5.76%) and least in cattle between 2 to 3 years (2.75%). There was no significant difference however (P>0.05), in breed, age and sex prevalence of infection in cattle in this study. The outcome of this study has shown that more attention is needed in controlling trypanosome infection in the study area.

“…The PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technique is currently the most sensitive diagnostic method of parasite detection in the hosts' blood for trypanosome infection. Abenga et al (2004) reported a prevalence rate of 7% using buffy coat technique. Buffy coat technique is also insensitive compared to the PCR technique that was used in this current study.…”

African animal trypanosomosis is an important livestock disease in Nigeria which is considered as a threat to the on-going effort on poverty alleviation in the continent. The disease is caused by several Trypanosoma species which are protozoan parasites transmitted by tsetse. Trypanosomosis is characterized by tissue injury including overwhelming activation of Classical Myeloid cells that results in destruction of the liver and uncontrolled parasite growth. Reduction in production and sometimes death are disease sequella. Hence, proper surveillance of the disease using a sensitive tool is very necessary for monitoring and control of trypanosomosis. Therefore this study concentrated on providing knowledge on the true infection rate of Trypanosoma congolense “forest type” and its effect on body weight and haematological parameters. Blood sample was collected from 180 cattle, DNA was extracted and PCR technique was adopted for prevalence study. Haematological analysis was carried out using Auto-haemo-analyser. Data generated were analysed using SAS statistical package. A prevalence rate of 91.67% was recorded. There were significant (p<0.05) differences between Body-weight, Red Blood Cell count, Mean Corpuscular Volume and Monocyte number of infected and un-infected cattle. The haematology reveals that hosts were able to respond to anaemia compensatorily as perceived in the macro-cytic, normo-chromic status of the peripheral blood erythrocytic generation. The study concluded that the true prevalence of trypanosome infection is high and has both epidemiological and economic importance. This study `provides information that could facilitate future monitoring and control of the disease in the study area.
