| A study was carried out to assess the effect of mixed infection of Trypanosoma vivax and Fasciola spp. in an intensively managed dairy farm. Twenty lactating Friesian cows were screened, 25% (5/20) had concurrent infections of T. vivax and Fasciola spp., while 20% (4/20) had mixed infections of T. vivax and strongyle infection, 15% (3/20) had mixed infections of Theileria mutans and strongyle infection. Only 10% (2/20) has single infection of T. vivax and T. mutans respectively. Anemia, submandibular edema, reduce milk production emaciation and epiphora are the major clinical signs presented by the animals. |

| A study was conducted in 24 gilts to determine the effect of Trypanosoma brucei infection on their reproductive efficiency. The infected gilts developed clinical trypanosomosis following a prepatent period of 2-3 days with 1.8 x 10⁶ trypanosomes per gilt. The clinical signs were observed intermittent fever, pale mucus membranes, short moist cough, moist rales, mucopurulent ocular discharges and hyperemia of the skin, reduced feed intake, and loss of body condition, recumbency, uncoordinated movements, posterior paresis and death of gilts. The cause of death in the pigs was pneumonia caused by Escherichia coli. Grossly, the lungs were severely congested and had undergone gray hepatization. Histopathologically, the lungs had thickened and congested alveolar... |
