Resumo: | An epidemiological investigation was conducted on mixed farms in Tororo and Soroti districts of Uganda from January to February 2000 to determine the cause of reported persistent mortality of cattle. Blood and faecal examination of 98 cattle comprised of 33 Friesians, 58 Zebu and 7 Sahiwal was undertaken. Results revealed 7 (7.1%) cattle had trypanosome infection, mainly due to Trypanosoma vivax and T. brucei, 17 (17.3%) had Fasciola infection, 28 (28.6%) had gastrointestinal nematode infection, 33 (33.7%) had Theileria parva infection and 13 (13.3%) had Anaplasma marginale infection. Mixed infections were detected in 24.5%, 30%, 20.6% and 43% of all cattle, Friesians, Zebu and Sahiwal respectively. Anaemia (PCV&lt;25) was detected in 21%, 24%, 19% and 14% of all cattle, Friesians, Zebu and Sahiwal respectively. Persistent mortality of Friesians, Zebu and Sahiwal cattle on these farms could have been due to either single or mixed parasitic infections probably exacerbated by malnutrition.
