Longitudinal observational (single cohort) study on the causes of trypanocide failure in cases of African animal trypanosomosis in cattle near wildlife protected areas of Northern Tanzania. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) in cattle is primarily managed through trypanocide administration and insecticide application. Trypanocides can be used for both treatment and prophylaxis, but failure is often reported; this may occur due to ...

Equine Vet J
Abstract Background Equine trypanosomiasis is a neglected protozoal disease. Objectives To perform a systematic search of literature to explore: (1) In equines what is the global geographical distribution and prevalence of trypanosomiasis? In low and middle‐income countries (LMICs) is trypanosomiasis more prevalent than in higher‐income countries (HICs)
