Immunodiagnosis of bovine trypanosomiasis in Anambra and Imo states, Nigeria, using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay: zoonotic implications to human health [PDF]

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2008
Background & objectives: The prevalence of trypanosomiasis was studied in cattle, being a major source of animal protein in Nigeria, thus, a very likely means of spread of Human African Trypano-somosis (HAT).

Molecular and serological survey of Trypanosoma vivax in Crioulo Lageano Cattle from southern Brazil [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
Bovine trypanosomiasis, caused by infection with the protozoan Trypanosoma vivax, is harmful to livestock worldwide. Knowing its epidemiology is relevant to evaluate the susceptibility, resistance, and tolerance of animals.

Targeting Kinetoplastid Parasites with ProTide Prodrugs: A Proof‐of‐Concept Study [PDF]

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 7, 14 April 2026.
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) remain a major global health challenge, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Kinetoplastid parasites causing Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, and African trypanosomiasis rely on host purine salvage pathways, making nucleoside analogues attractive therapeutic candidates.

Seasonal Dynamics and Associated Risk Factors of Bovine Trypanosomosis and Its Vector in Selected Districts of Gamo and Gofa Zones, Southern Ethiopia [PDF]

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
The median PCV of poor body‐conditioned animals is below 20 (anaemic) compared to corresponding body‐condition animals. Black‐ and red‐coloured animals are more significantly affected by trypanosomosis than white‐coloured animals. Multivariable logistic regression revealed more about contributory factors than univariable logistic regression.

Improvements on Restricted Insecticide Application Protocol for Control of Human and Animal African Trypanosomiasis in Eastern Uganda [PDF]

, 2014
African trypanosomes constrain livestock and human health in Sub-Saharan Africa, and aggravate poverty and hunger of these otherwise largely livestock-keeping communities. To solve this, there is need to develop and use effective and cheap tsetse control

Collateral benefits of restricted insecticide application for control of African trypanosomiasis on Theileria parva in cattle: a randomized controlled trial [PDF]

, 2014
Tick and tsetse-borne diseases (TTBDs) constrain livestock production in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Of this community of endemic diseases, East coast fever (T.parva) is the most important tick-borne disease (TBD) accounting for 70% of
