The Prevalence Of Trypanosomiasis In Cattle In Umudike Farm.
ABSTRACT
The prevalence of trypanosomiasis in 40 cattle
from animal farm of Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Umuahia,
Abia State was investigated. The cattle were of different breeds. The cattle
were bled from their ear lobes at the peak of the rainy season (September —
November). Blood samples were examined by wet preparation and stained smear
methods (thick and thin films), packed cell volume (PCV). 4 (10%) cattle were
infected with trypanosomes with 3 (12.5%) from Ndama breed and 1 (16.6%) from
Muturu. Of importance are the Tidings that 3 of the 4 samples positive for
trypanosome were Trypanosonia bruccei rhodosiense. It is desirable that cattle
be included in any therapeutic or prophylactic a programme for trypanosomiasis
control.
