Prevalence and Risk Factor Analysis of Bovine Trypanosoma Infection in Cattle across Three Egyptian Governorates
A cross-sectional study was conducted in three governorates of the Nile Delta region in Egypt from January to December 2024. The objective was to determine the seroprevalence of bovine trypanosomosis and evaluate associated risk factors. A total of 540 cattle blood samples were examined using the CATT/T. evansi test, and relevant animal data were analyzed to identify risk associations. The overall prevalence of trypanosomosis was 24.4% (132/540), with the highest rate observed in Kafr El-Sheikh governorate at 26.1% (49/188). The prevalence was significantly associated with age, packed cell volume (PCV), and body condition score (P < 0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the likelihood of infection increased fourfold in cattle older than 3 years, twofold in anemic animals, and threefold in those with poor body condition. The findings indicate that bovine trypanosomosis is a prevalent among examined cattle in the area studied. Therefore, the implementation of strategic prevention and control programs is essential to improve livestock health and productivity.
期刊介绍:
Acta Parasitologica is an international journal covering the latest advances in the subject.
Acta Parasitologica publishes original papers on all aspects of parasitology and host-parasite relationships, including the latest discoveries in biochemical and molecular biology of parasites, their physiology, morphology, taxonomy and ecology, as well as original research papers on immunology, pathology, and epidemiology of parasitic diseases in the context of medical, veterinary and biological sciences. The journal also publishes short research notes, invited review articles, book reviews.
The journal was founded in 1953 as "Acta Parasitologica Polonica" by the Polish Parasitological Society and since 1954 has been published by W. Stefanski Institute of Parasitology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. Since 1992 in has appeared as Acta Parasitologica in four issues per year.
