- Description
Bovine trypanosomiasis is a chronic and debilitating disease caused by Trypanosoma vivax (T. vivax) with a negative impact on farm livestock. This protozoan is distributed in tropical and subtropical areas of the world and is mechanically transmitted by vectors such as Tabanus spp. and Stomoxys calcitrans. The current prevalence of this parasite in Ecuador is completely unknown; in fact, there is only one report issued in 1977 by Wells et al., which indicates 22.5% by IFAT after evaluating approximately 20 sera.
