Bedele District Livestock Development and Health Office, Bedele, Ethiopia.
This study assesses the prevalence of bovine trypanosomes and the density of tsetse flies in the Yem Special District, Southern Ethiopia, highlighting the disease's significant impact on livestock health and agricultural productivity. Conducted between May 2022 and January 2023, the cross-sectional survey analyzed 960 blood samples for trypanosomes prevalence and tsetse fly density. Results revealed a 10.

Background: Diagnostic tests and knowledge of their diagnostic accuracies are important for animal trypanosomosis surveillance and treatment.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted in November 2021 to compare the performance of rapid diagnostic test (RDT) and PCR-based assay for the detection of trypanosome infections. Random sampling and probability proportional to size sampling were used to sample study households and animals from the sampled household respectively.
Bovine Trypanosomosis: Seasonal Prevalence and Vector Density in Dara District, Sidama Region, Ethiopia.

Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Hawassa University, Hawassa, Ethiopia.
In sub-Saharan Africa, animal trypanosomosis is a wasting disease that reduces livestock's health and productivity. A recurrent cross-sectional investigation was carried out in the Dara district of the Sidama region in dry and wet seasons to estimate the apparent density of Glossina spp. and the seasonal prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis.

Article Synopsis
- Bovine trypanosomosis significantly hampers livestock productivity in Ethiopia, affecting around 70 million cattle, prompting a review of research from the last decade to analyze its prevalence, risk factors, and vector density.
- A meta-analysis of 26 studies found a 9% overall prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis, with the highest rates in Amhara and Oromia regions, indicating substantial variability among studies.
- Important risk factors identified include poor body condition and coat color, with black-coated animals being much more vulnerable to the disease compared to other colors, highlighting the need for targeted management strategies.
Insights into trypanosomiasis transmission: Age, infection rates, and bloodmeal analysis of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes in N.W. Uganda.

Background: Tsetse flies (Glossina) transmit species of Trypanosoma which cause human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) and animal African trypanosomiasis (AAT). Understanding the epidemiology of this disease and controlling the vector rationally requires analysis of the abundance, age structure, infection rates and feeding patterns of tsetse populations.
Methods: We analysed a population of G.
