Review on Prevalence of Bovine Trypanosomosis in Wolayita Zone Damot Woide District of Ethiopia

Abstract

Trypanosomosis is a disease complex because of several species of unicellular protozoan parasites of the genus Trypanosoma. The most vital trypanosomes, in terms of monetary loss in home farm animals are tsetse transmitted species: T. congolense and T. vivax. Go sectional examine become performed in Damot Woide district of Wolayita administrative quarter of southern place of Ethiopia, from November 2023 to April 2024 to estimate the superiority of bovine trypanosomiasis. Inside the parasitological survey, blood samples of one hundred twenty cattle have been tested using a buffy coat technique and skinny blood smear below Giemsa stain. The Packed cell extent (PCV) cost of every animal was also measured using hematocrit reader. The general occurrence of trypanosomiasis became observed to be 6.6%. The prevalence numerous between different have a look at regions; 4.5% in Badessa, 8.5% in Sadebo keblle, 5% in Adecha kebelle and 6.1% in Anka-shashara kebelle. The maximum nice instances had been because of Trypanosoma congolense (60%) accompanied via Trypanosoma vivax (29.6%) and blended contamination from Trypanosoma congolense and Trypanosoma vivax became additionally recorded in (17.3%) of the tasted animals. The imply PCV cost (%) of parasitaemic and aparasitaemic animals in the course of the examine length had been 22.43% and 30.14% with a statistically importance (P<0.05) difference between the two groups. The study also demonstrated variations in the prevalence among different age groups and between both sexes were statistically insignificant (P>0.05) but body condition has giant association with trypanosomiasis prevalence. As the take a look at revealed bovine trypanosomiasis of the examine place has outstanding impact on production, implementing manage of trypanosomiasis with an integrated methods have critical significance in the observe web site.
