Trypanosoma species research and implications

Trypanosomes identified as Trypanosoma vivax were found infecting nine sheep (4.6%) and one goat (1.3%) on four of 11 farms surveyed on coastal Guyana. Animals sampled on another farm situated in the Rupununi savannahs gave negative results. Haematological techniques preferred for studies of this nature were the haematocrit centrifuge technique (HCT) and the thick blood smear technique.
