Abstract

This study was carried out in 3 districts of Bokkos Local Government Area of Plateau State, Nigeria to determine the current dry season prevalence of African trypanosomosis in cattle.
Blood Samples collected aseptically from 721 cattle were examined for trypanosome species using Buffy Coat and Giemsa staining methods. Out of 721 cattle randomly selected, 37 were found positive for trypanosome infection. This represents 5.1% over all trypanosome prevalence. Young Cattle (>3yrs) had significantly higher prevalence (p< 0.05) rate of 7.2% than 3.2% trypanosome infection rate in adult cattle. Sex prevalence revealed male cattle had more prevalence of trypanosome infection rates (6.4%) than the female counterparts 4.2%. Although it was not statistically significant (p> 0.05). Among all trypanosome species found in all the 3 districts investigated, Trypanosoma vivax was more dominant (81.1%). However, there is a significant correlation (r = 0.209) between prevalences of infection in all the districts investigated. Cattle with poor body condition showed more trypanosome prevalence of 7.1% than the good body conditioned ones (4.2%) but there is no significant difference (p > 0.05) in their prevalence rates. The result of this study validates the presence of trypanosome infection in this study area. Hence, the need for continual surveillance, monitoring and evaluation of the status of animal trypanosomosis in Bokkos LGA of Plateau State, Nigeria.
