Trypanosoma vivax detection kits

Trypanosoma vivax is a major parasite of domestic animals in Africa and Americas. In Africa, the transmission occurs cyclically and mechanically but, in the America T. vivax is transmitted only mechanically by tabanids and other biting flies. The main clinical signs observed in cattle naturally infected with T.vivax have been intermittent fever, anemia, abortion, apathy, inappetence, diminished milk production, progressive weight loss and, occasionally, death.
