摘要: A study was conducted between October 2008 and April 2009 in Humbo, Kindo Koysha Sodo Zuria districts (southern Ethiopia) to investigate the infection by trypanosomes equines fly vectors present these areas. total of 214 donkeys, 20 horses 60 mules were examined a dark ground/phase contrast buffy coat technique microscopy blood smears. Trypanosomes observed 10.7% donkeys (n = 23) whereas negative. TwoTrypanosome species identified: Trypanosoma congolense (52.2%) andTrypanosoma vivax (26.1%). Furthermore, mixed found 21.7% infected animals. No significant (P > 0.05) association prevalence district origin, body condition score (BCS), age or sex donkeys. There difference 0.05). Overall, trypanosomosis reported herein is low compared previous studies might be associated with reduction tsetse density area. Key words: Equine, prevalence, Southern Ethiopia, trypanosomosis, vectors.
