Definition of Trypanosomiasis in Cattle Trypanosomosis is a chronic disease of cattle caused by protozoal species of the genus Trypanosoma Depending on the species of parasite, the organisms are transmitted cyclically by Tsetse flies of the genus Glossina or mechanically by tsetse or other biting flies. The disease is the most economically damaging and widely distributed in dry areas 11/14/2020 4 Signs and Symptoms of Trypanosomiasis in Cattle Intermittent fever Anemia, Weight loss High mortality, especially if there is poor nutrition or other stress factors . 11/14/2020 5 Pharmacological treatment of Trypanosomiasis in Cattle 11/14/2020 6 Activity: Brainstorming What are the prevention measures for Trypanosomiasis in Cattle?? Prevention and Control of Trypanosomiasis in Cattle Detection and treatment of infected animals Prophylactic treatment with Quinapyramine of susceptible animals and protection from biting flies Control of tsetse flies includes Frequent spraying and dipping of animals (mobile targets). Spraying insecticides on fly-breeding areas. Bush clearing and other methods. Insecticides-impregnated screens (fixed targets). Spray mobile target ( eg . Pour-on on cattle). 11/14/2020 8 Key Points African trypanosomiasis in cattle represents a major constraint to agricultural and socio-economic development in vast areas of Africa. The disease is caused principally by three species of trypanosome ( Trypanosoma congolense , T. vivax and T. brucei ) which are transmitted by several species of tsetse flies ( Glossina ). Trypanosomiasis in cattle results in poor productivity and mortality . Infected animals suffer from a severe anemia and there is widespread tissue damage affecting organs such as the heart, skeletal muscles, endocrine system and reproductive tract. There is no vaccine available for bovine trypanosomiasis, and the methods currently employed for control include chemotherapeutic and chemoprophylactic drugs, tsetse eradication or control and the use of trypanotolerant 11/14/2020 9 Evaluation What is Trypanosomiasis in Cattle?
