“…The incidence of infection due to T. brucei brucei in this study is of zoonotic importance as human population could be susceptible host (Sam-wobo et al, 2010). This study showed that there was a significant difference in mean PCV between infected and non-infected cattle and goats (P<0.05).This is in consonance with reports of Maigari et al (2015) et al (2009). The difference in mean PCV values may be due to differences in the breeds of animals involved in the study.…”

“…Female cattle had a higher prevalence (7.14%) than the males (4.55%) and the difference was not statistically significant. This agrees with the report of Maigari et al (2015) who recorded 3.17% and 0.06% in females and males respectively, but differs from the reports of Ohaeri (2010); Samdi et al (2011) and Fasanmi et al (2014) and who all recorded higher prevalence in males. The higher susceptibility of female cattle does not tend itself to unequivocal interpretation at this point but could be associated with reduced immunity resulting from lactation and stress due to pregnancy.…”

“…In this study, cattle showed higher prevalence of 5.66% than the R.S goats which had 5.13% prevalence. The result was within range of the reports of Ezebuiro et al (2009) in Kaduna abattoir who reported 5% and 4.67% prevalence in cattle and goats respectively but contrasted with the report of Maigari et al (2015) in which goats did not have trypanosomal infection. The prevalence in cattle was higher than 4.69% reported by Fasanmi et al (2014).…”

This study investigated the prevalence of trypanosome infection in cattle and Red Sokoto (R.S) goats slaughtered at abattoirs in Asaba, Delta State. 304 animals comprising 265 cattle, 39 R.S goats were examined. Blood was collected from the jugular vein of each animal into EDTA containers, placed in cold boxes and transported to the Nigerian Institute for Trypanosomiasis Research (NITR) laboratory in Asaba where standard trypanosome detection methods (STDM), Haematocrit centrifugation technique (HCT) and Buffy coat methods were used to detect trypanosomes and determine Packed Cell Volume (PCV). The result of the investigation showed that seventeen (17) animals were infected giving an overall prevalence of 5.59%. Fifteen (5.66%) of the cattle and two (5.13%) of the R.S goats were infected. Female cattle had higher prevalence of trypanosomiasis (6.78%) than the male cattle (4.76%). Difference in prevalence in female and male cattle was statistically significant (p<0.05). In R.S goats, 6.45% prevalence was observed in the males while no infection was found in the females. Three species of Trypanosoma namely, Trypansoma vivax, T. congolense and T. brucei brucei were recorded in infected animals. T. vivax, T. congolense and T. brucei brucei were found in the cattle while only T. congolense was found in R.S goats. There was a significant difference between the mean PCV value of infected animals and the non-infected animals (p < 0.05). The result of this study clearly indicates the presence of trypanosome species in the abattoir animals.

“…(Desquesnes and Dia, 2004;Diarra et al, 2019). Livestock marketers occupy a key position in the epidemiology of AAT, and hence, any information derived from this group of people may facilitate decision making in terms of implementing effective strategies that can limit the spread of trypanosomosis (Maigari et al, 2015). This study, which engages livestock marketers via interactive sessions, can provide information on how knowledgeable they are on Tsetsefly and trypanosomosis, thus, providing additional value to relevant stakeholders in the struggle to contain and effectively limit the spread of this debilitating disease.…”

African Animal Trypanosomosis (AAT) is a debilitating disease that hinders livestock productivity in Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa. Numerous strategies have been developed over time to fight this devastating disease, which are emphasized mostly on containing the spread of its causative agent and principal vector. However, very little has been done to include livestock marketers in decision making, planning and implementation of control programs. Therefore, this study was carried out to fill that void, by evaluating the knowledge of this group of people on Tsetsefly and Trypanosomosis in Wudil Cattle Market. Questionnaires were developed to collect relevant information, and were administered through ‘Standard Focus Group Discussions’. The results revealed that tsetse fly was known by all respondents (100%), who significantly reported that they were most commonly found in the forests (95%), during the wet season (85%). Respondents also reported that these flies prefer to bite animals (71.25%). Similarly, a majority of respondents (97.5%) reported to being cognizant of trypanosomosis disease, while also stating that it had infected their animals at some point in time. Respondents believed infection was most prevalent during the wet season (60%) than the dry season (40%). Respondents had mixed views when it came to perceived causes of the disease, as some associated it with bite from flies (53.75%), while others linked it to transhumance (38.75%). In terms of signs and symptoms, 80% of respondents were able to identify with at least four symptoms of the disease. In essence, this study further intensifies the need to engage livestock marketers in tsetse and trypanosomosis control programs, in addition to emphasizing the need to create awareness campaigns that can further limit the spread of the disease and ensure vector control.

AMELS are important domesticated animals that provide milk and dietary meats, as well as they are working animals that represent vital means of transportation, especially in desert habitats. However, they are susceptible to many parasitic diseases, which lead to substantial economic losses related to reducing productivity and performance along with fatalities in severe cases. Camels also carry pathogens and may transmit them to humans and other animals. Parasitic infections in camels include protozoa, helminths, and arthropods. There are many protozoal diseases that affect and endanger camels such as blood protozoa (trypanosomiasis, babesiosis and theileriosis), gastrointestinal protozoa (eimeriosis and cryptosporidiosis), and tissue protozoa (sarcocystosis and toxoplasmosis). Microscopical diagnosis of parasitic protozoan diseases is usually dependent on the detection of the parasites in blood smear in case of blood parasites and fecal examination to detect the protozoal oocysts. Other methods such as micro-hematocrit centrifugation (MHCT) and quantitative buffy coat methods are used in the diagnosis of certain parasites such as the detection of motile and live trypanosomes. Histopathology can also be used, and different serological assays. Moreover, molecular diagnosis is used for the accurate identification of parasite species such Camel, Parasites disease, Zoonotic Protozoa, Diagnosis, Control as Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), sequencing, and phylogenetic analyses. This review highlights different diagnostic techniques and strategies for controlling parasitic protozoan diseases in camels. Also outlines of different control and management protocols to reduce the risk of this parasitic infection in camels by using chemical drugs, natural products (plant extracts and bee products), biological control, and by some vaccination trials.
