TL;DR: The new finding of savannah- and forest-type T. congolense in Nigeria and the relatively high abundance of mixed infections are of significant clinical relevance.
Journal ArticleDOI
A meta-analysis of the prevalence of African animal trypanosomiasis in Nigeria from 1960 to 2017
TL;DR: The prevalence of trypanosomes in both vectors and animal hosts was high in Nigeria and further research on risk factors, seasonal and transhumance effects, vectoral capacity and competence are warranted for an effective control of AAT in Nigeria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Animal African Trypanosomiasis in Nigeria: A long way from elimination/eradication.
TL;DR: The data presented in this report demonstrates that Nigeria is highly endemic of AAT and that it is yet to comprehensively approach the process of eradication as it is at the infancy stage of data gathering and processing.

TL;DR: To the best of the present group's knowledge, this is the first report of Trypanosoma species in Tabanus and Stomoxys flies in Nigeria and indicates that vector control programmes should always consider biting flies along with tsetse flies in the control of human and animal trypanosomiasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global distribution, host range and prevalence of Trypanosoma vivax : a systematic review and meta-analysis
TL;DR: A systematic literature search was conducted on three search engines, namely PubMed, Scopus and CAB Direct, to identify all publications reporting natural infection of T. vivax across the world as mentioned in this paper.

The cyclical transmission of strains of Trypanosoma congolense and T. vivax resistant to normal therapeutic doses of trypanocidal drugs.
A. R. Gray,C. J. Roberts +1 more
TL;DR: The transmissibility of thetrypanosomes was assessed on the bases of the infection rates in tsetse flies used to transmit the strains and the periods required for the development of the trypanosome in the flies and bovine hosts.

TL;DR: There was no extension beyond 48 hours of the time taken for progressively tolerant infections to become aparasitaemic nor was there any shortening of the relapse intervals following initial treatment of more tolerant infections at lower levels.
