Description
Preliminary results are presented of the analysis of 3000 serum samples collected from Zebu cattle in the Nabogu valley. Of the 3000 serum samples collected so far, 182 have been tested using the buffy coat technique (BCT) and the antigen ELISA test. A total of 56 samples have been found positive by both techniques. Using the parasitological technique (=BCT) 44 samples were diagnosed to be positive, while the Ag-ELISA detected 19 positive samples. The majority (75%) of cases detected positive by either technique was due to a single infection by Trypanosoma brucei. (author). 4 refs, 1 fig., 3 tabs
