Trypanosoma vivax was diagnosed from 20 of 45 (44.4%) West African Dwarf sheep suspected of clinical trypanosomiasis on ILCA’s farm at Fasola in southwest Nigeria. The infection represented 11.8% of the total sheep on the station. Varying levels of parasitaemia and anaemia were observed among the...

Relationship between anaemia and parasitaemia in sheep naturally infected with Trypanosoma vivax in southwest Nigeria
Blood screening over 12 months in 4 groups of villages in southwest Nigeria revealed the prevalence of Trypanosoma vivax (3.5%) and Babesia motasi (20.4%). There was a very high infection rate from B.motasi, although clinical babesiosis was not common. Although infection from T.vivax and B.motasi...
The susceptibility of G. longipennis, G. brevipalpis and G. morsitans centralis to various strains of Trypanosoma vivax, T. congolense and T. brucei brucei was investigated in the laboratory. Cattle and goats were infected with the trypanosomes and the tsetse fed from them during the first parasi...

Comparative susceptibility of Glossina longipennis and G. brevipalpis to pathogenic species of Trypanosoma
In field studies, tsetse flies (Diptera: Glossinidae) feed more successfully on cattle infected with Trypanosoma congolense Broden (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae) than on cattle infected with T. vivax Ziemann or uninfected cattle. Here we describe the first laboratory investigation of this phe...
