Equine trypanosomiasis, a systematic review and meta‐analyses: Prevalence, morbidity and mortality
Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.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)
