Trypanosoma evansi Infection in Livestock in Thailand

抄録

Trypanosoma evansi infection in livestock in Thailand has been reported in various kinds of animals for over 80 years. Clinical manifestations observed vary from asymptom to abortion and dead. Development of diagnostic methods parasitologically and serologically reveal more severe economic losses due to trypanosomiasis outbreaks. Whole herd treatment is costly while preventive control measures are not effectively implemented, especially in reservoir herds. Research is being undertaken in the development of efficient method for field diagnosis.
