| The susceptibility of the West African dwarf goats to experimental Cowdria ruminantium infection was studied over a period of 9 weeks using 10 infected and 4 control animals. All the 10 goats reacted to intravenous inoculation of C. ruminantium infected blood. Two died hyperacutely 12 days post infection (pi) with rectal temperature of 41.0 ± 5℃ as the main clinical sign presented, 3 died 15 days pi exhibiting various clinical signs, the remaining 5 recovered from the infection after maintaining high rectal temperature (41℃ ± 0.5) for 8-9 days. The study shows that West African Dwarf goats are highly susceptible to experimental Cowdria ruminantium infection. |

| 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. |
