The Prevalence of Trypanosomiasis in Cattle in Umudike:- Obaje, Onuche G.
ABSTRACT
The
prevalence of trypanosomiasis in 40 cattle from animal farm of Michael Okpara
University of Agriculture, Umudike, Umuahia, Abia State was investigated. The
cattle were of different breeds. The cattle were bled from their ear lobes
at the peak of the rainy season (September -November). Blood samples were
examined by wet preparation and stained smear methods (thick and thin
films), packed cell volume (PCV). 4 (10%) cattle were infected with
trypanosomes with 3 (12.5%) from Ndama breed and 1 (16.6%) from Muturu. Of
importance are the findings that 3 ofthe 4 samples positive for trypanosome
were Trypanosoma brucei rhodosiense. It is desirable that cattle be included in
any therapeutic or prophylactic programme for trypanosomiasis control.
