“…However, dogs can also get the infection by ingestion of fresh animal carcasses that died recently from trypanosomiasis and through oral experimental infection (Nwoha, 2013). Higher prevalence of T. evansi infection was observed in Mongrel than in Pomeranian, Cross breeds, German Shepherd, Doberman and Labrador breeds in Andhra Pradesh (Prasad et al, 2015). The clinical signs in the present study is in accordance with Behera et al (2018) and Saurabh Kumar (2010), who also reported corneal opacity, high temperature and lymphnode enlargement.…”

The present case of trypanosomiasis is reported in a five-year-old, male, non-descriptive dog that is presented with the clinical signs of inappetance, lethargy and onset of corneal opacity of both the eyes for three days. On clinical examination, high temperature, congested conjunctival mucus membranes but slightly pale buccal mucus membrane, enlargement of prescapular lymphnode were evident. Hematobiochemical findings revealed moderate anemia with mild neutrophilia, hypoglycemia, hypoalbuminemia and elevated creatinine values. Confirmation of case was done by microscopic examination of Trypanosoma sp., organism in wet blood smear and also thin blood smear with Giemsa Stain. The dog was put on therapeutic regimen comprised of Diminazine

“…In dogs, the prevalence of T. evansi was observed higher in Mongrel than that of other recognized breeds. The young ones below 2 years of age are more commonly affected (Prasad et al, 2015). Absence of the disease transmitting vector is the major reason for non-prevalence of other trypanosome species.…”

India possess huge livestock population, which is endangered by different endemic infectious diseases (bacterial, viral, protozoan and parasitic), which collectively causes significant economic losses to the landless poor farming community. Infectious diseases impose economic losses by causing morbidity, mortality, decreased production (milk, meat, wool etc.), decreased feed conversion ratio which results in reduced weight gain, decreased draught power and fertility. Furthermore, economic burden is also due to the cost of treatment, abortion, consequences on internal livestock movement, germplasm and international trade. In addition, some of the diseases are zoonotic and inflicts considerable impact on public health. Uncertain agrarian climate, unpredictable weather, drought, floods, migration of livestock, scarcity of fodders, and unhygienic zoo-sanitary and healthcare practices together resulted in endemicity of diseases ultimately leads to more incidence and prevalence of livestock and poultry diseases throughout the year. Synchronized monitoring and surveillance of disease throughout the country is a fundamental requirement for sustainable livestock production. With fairly developed telecommunication in India, following technologies like interactive voice response system, SMS through mobile/cell phones and toll-free landline phones (voice mail) are required for enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of
