The cross-sectional study was carried out from January to May, 2015 to assess prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis and apparent density of its vectors in Yayo district Iluababora zone of western Oromia. In current study 408 cattle were randomly selected for the study of bovine trypanosomosis prevalence in the district. Blood sample were collected from ear vein of cattle drawn into heparinized capillary tube then centrifuged and buffy coat techniques and thin blood smear were used to identify species of trypanosomes. This revealed that overall prevalence 7.4%, 95% CI: 5.1 -10.0% with the highest rate of infection of T. congolonse (66.7%) than T. vivax 8(26.7%) and mixed infection 2(6.7%). Prevalence of trypanosomosis higher in female cattle 8%, 95% CI: 5.0 -11.6%, old cattle 25%, 95% CI: 0.0 -62.5% and poor body condition score cattle 9.3%, 95% CI: 3.7 -14.8% and they were insignificantly associated with the bovine trypanosomosis prevalence. Bovine trypanosomosis prevalence was higher in aneamic 26(7.54%), poor body condition score 10(9.26%), female 21(8.11%) and old cattle 28(7.49%) and all the risk factors are insignificantly associated with trypanosomosis prevalence. The mean PCV of the infected cattle, male cattle and medium body condition score cattle were 17.767%, 95% CI: 15.96 -19.58%, 20.274%, 95% CI: 19.78 -20.77%, 20.09%, 95% CI: 19.53 -20.65% lower than their perspective, respectively. In study 45 monopyramidal traps used to assess apparent density of tsetse flies and other biting flies in the district were G. pallidipes and G. f. fuscipes caught with overall apparent density of 142.41 FTD and other biting flies Tabanus, Stomoxys and Heamatopota. This indicates that how much tsetse flies and trypanosomosis challenge the livelihood of farmers. Therefore, chemoprophylaxis and prophylactics techniques and vector control techniques should be implemented.

“…This may be due to major cyclical vectors or Glossina species are more efficient to transmitters of T. congolonse than T. vivax and high number of serodems of T. congolonse as compared to T. vivax (Olani and Bekele, 2016). Moreover, T. vivax is highly susceptible to treatment while the problems of drug resistance are higher in T. congolonse, since T. congolonse is mainly confirmed in blood, while T. vivax and T. brucei invade tissue (Biyazen et al, 2014). This finding is consistent with some previous studies in different parts of Ethiopia (Begna et al, 2011;Biyazen et al, 2014;Kassaye, 2015;Tola et al, 2016;Kassaye and Tsegaye, 2016;Kitila et al, 2017).…”

Similarly, T. congolonse was dominant species with a proportion of (69.7%) and followed by T. vivax (19.2%) and T. brucei (9.1) in Western Ethiopia also reported by Siyum et al (2014) and Dawit et al (2015).…”

Trypanosomosis is a serious disease that causes a significant production loss in cattle. A cross sectional study was conducted in Jimma Horro District of Kellem Wollega Zone, Western Ethiopia to determine prevalence and associated risk factors of bovine trypanosomosis from October 2016 to October 2017. Blood samples from randomly selected 384 cattle of both sex and different age group were collected and examined with parasitological techniques. The overall prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis was 3.7% (14/384) in the study areas. The infection was highest due to Trypanosome congolense (50%) followed by Trypanosome vivax (28.6%) and Trypanosoma brucei (21.4%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified body condition as risk factors (P<0.05) for trypanosomosis in the district. However, there were no statistically significant difference observed among age groups, sex, skin color and different peasant associations (P> 0.05). The overall mean Packed Cell Volume (PCV) value was statistically significant difference between aparasitaemic and parasitaemic cattle (P< 0.05).The study showed that bovine trypanosomosis is one of the constraints to cattle production in Jimma Horro District. Hence, there is a need to create awareness about impact of disease on cattle production and appropriate control methods of trypanosomosis should be designed and implemented.

“…This indicates statistically significant difference among the distribution of trypanosome species (p< 0.05). This finding was in consistent with the previous finding of who reported 63.64%, 27.27%, and 9% for trypanosome species of T [28]. congolense, T. vivax, and T. brucei respectively During their study in Dale Wabera district of Kellem Wollega Zone of Oromia Region, Western Ethiopia, similarly, it was in concordance with whose finding showed proportional prevalence of T. congolense to be 53.33 %, T. vivax 30 % and T. brucei 16.66 % in their study on Prevalence of Bovine Trypanasomosis in Guto Gida District of East Wollega Zone of Oromia Region, Western Ethiopia [21].…”

A cross sectional study was carried out from December 2016 to March, 2017 in Bulen district of the Benishangul Gumuz Region, Western Ethiopia to determine prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis and associated risk factors. Blood samples collected from (n= 306) randomly sampled cattle (Bos indicus) was examined using parasitological (buffy coat technique) and hematological (measurement of packed cell volume) procedures. An overall, 18/306(5.88%) prevalence was recorded. The infection was caused mainly by Trypanosoma congolense 11/18(66.11%), Trypanosoma vivax 6/18(13.5%) and to less extent by Trypanosoma brucei 1/18(5.56%).The infection rate was statistically significant among difference trypanosome species (P<0.05). Mean packed cell volume (PCV) value of parasitaemic animals was lower (18.21% + 4.11) than aparasitaemic animals (28.12% +2.67) and the variation was statistically significant (P>0.05).Higher prevalence 11/82 (13.75%) was registered in animals with poor body condition animals when compared with animals medium 5/147(3.40%) and good 2/77(2.60%) body condition and the difference was found statistically significant (p<0.05). In contrast, prevalence of trypanosomosis was not statistically significant across study sites, among age categories and between sex groups (P> 0.05).To wrap up, the result of the present finding shows moderately high prevalence of trypanosomosis in the study sites indicating the need for strategic and integrated approach to control the vector and to minimize the impact of the disease in the study district.
