Across-sectional study on bovine trypanosomiasis was conducted to determine the prevalence, to identify species of trypanosomes involved and to assess associated risk factors in Boloso sore and Boloso Bombe districts, Wolaita zone, south Ethiopia. In the current study, overall prevalence of 7.2% Bovine trypanosomiasis was recorded. Prevalence of 5.1% and 5.4%, and 6.7% and 10% was recorded in altitude of Midland (Matala Hemebecho and Tiyo Hembecho, 1595m mater) and lowland (Ajora and Bombe PA, 1206m mater) respectively. Relatively, a higher level of trypanosome prevalence (7.6%) was observed in male cattle than in female (6.6%) cattle. Prevalence of 8.8% and 5% were recorded in cattle of one to three and greater than three years age of cattle. Based on coat color, the finding of 10.5%, 7.5%, and 4.6% were recorded in red, black and mixed color respectively. Trypanosomes were not detected in cattle less than one year of age. Two species of trypanosomes; Trypanosome congolense, and Trypanosome vivax were detected with a prevalence of 7.2% and 27.8% respectively. On the basis of hematological finding, for PCV < 24 and PCV > 24 were 9.2% and 6.1% respectively. In conclusion, the study indicated that trypanosomiasis was the major constraint of livestock production in the study area; therefore, concerned bodies should strengthen and continue their effort against this vector-borne parasitic disease.

abstract = {Across-sectional study on bovine trypanosomiasis was conducted to determine the prevalence, to identify species of trypanosomes involved and to assess associated risk factors in Boloso sore and Boloso Bombe districts, Wolaita zone, south Ethiopia. In the current study, overall prevalence of 7.2% Bovine trypanosomiasis was recorded. Prevalence of 5.1% and 5.4%, and 6.7% and 10% was recorded in altitude of Midland (Matala Hemebecho and Tiyo Hembecho, 1595m mater) and lowland (Ajora and Bombe PA, 1206m mater) respectively. Relatively, a higher level of trypanosome prevalence (7.6%) was observed in male cattle than in female (6.6%) cattle. Prevalence of 8.8% and 5% were recorded in cattle of one to three and greater than three years age of cattle. Based on coat color, the finding of 10.5%, 7.5%, and 4.6% were recorded in red, black and mixed color respectively. Trypanosomes were not detected in cattle less than one year of age. Two species of trypanosomes; Trypanosome congolense, and Trypanosome vivax were detected with a prevalence of 7.2% and 27.8% respectively. On the basis of hematological finding, for PCV 24 were 9.2% and 6.1% respectively. In conclusion, the study indicated that trypanosomiasis was the major constraint of livestock production in the study area; therefore, concerned bodies should strengthen and continue their effort against this vector-borne parasitic disease.},
