| mechanical transmission of trypanosoma congolense in cattle by the african tabanid atylotus agrestis. | the trypanosomes pathogenic to livestock in africa (trypanosoma congolense, trypanosoma vivax, and trypanosoma brucei) are mainly cyclically transmitted by tsetse (glossina). however, t. vivax, can also be mechanically transmitted by haematophagous insects. laboratory studies have demonstrated the mechanical transmission of t. congolense, but confirmation of this under natural conditions was necessary. an experiment was therefore carried out in lahirasso, burkina faso, in a corral completely cov ... | 2003 | 14990316 |
