Article Synopsis
- Tsetse fly-transmitted African animal trypanosomosis causes significant economic losses in sub-Saharan Africa, contributing to hunger and poverty due to its impact on livestock production.
- Eight villages in southeast Mali were studied to assess the risk of trypanosomosis and the effectiveness of two different trypanocidal drugs on infected cattle.
- Results showed that about 15.7% of examined cattle were trypanosome-positive, with Trypanosoma congolense being the predominant species; both treatments had notable failure rates, particularly with the isometamidium chloride drug, highlighting challenges in managing this disease.
