Abstract

A trypanosomiasis survey was conducted in South-West Zambia. From a total of 3,346 cattle sampled 342 cattle showed a positive trypanosomiasis parasitaemia. During the survey trypanosome species and PCV values were also recorded. With simple statistical analysis populations with higher and lower prevalence rates were differentiated. The results indicated that the Kwando River Basin Tsetse Fly Belt and the Kafue River Basin Tsetse Fly Belt infested a larger area than originally assumed and that a link-up between both belts occurred or will occur in the near future.

摘要

在赞比亚西南部开展了一项锥虫病调查。在总共3346头采样牛中，有342头牛的锥虫病寄生虫血症呈阳性。调查期间还记录了锥虫种类和红细胞压积值。通过简单的统计分析，区分了患病率较高和较低的群体。结果表明，宽多河流域采采蝇带和卡富埃河流域采采蝇带感染的区域比原先设想的更大，而且这两个采采蝇带之间已经或即将在不久的将来出现连接。
