Vector identification, prevalence and anemia of bovine trypanosomosis in Yayo District, Illubabor Zone of Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia

Abstract: Trypanosomosis is one of the major impediments to livestock development and agricultural production in Ethiopia. It is cyclically transmitted by tsetse flies but also mechanically tsetse flies and by other biting flies. A cross-sectional study was conducted to identify the density and diversity of vectors and also the prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis from October, 2014 to May, 2015. The study was conducted in four selected settlement areas of the Yayo district in the Illubabor zone of Oromia Regional State,… Show more

“…The prevalence of parasitemic and anemic animals (62.5%) was significantly compared to the parasitemic and non-anemic animals 37.5% (p<0.05). Similar findings were reported by Zecharias and Zeryehun (2012), Haile et al (2016, 2017 and Mekonnen and Negesse (2017). Packed cell volume has been demonstrated to be a good indicator of trypanosomal infection (Marcotty et al, 2008).…”

“…Since more than 90% of crop production in Ethiopia are dependent on animal draught power mainly on ploughing oxen, many large fields lie fallow due to lack of these animals in trypanosomiasis infested area (Haile et al, 2016).…”
