Trypanosoma evansi is the causative agent of surra, a disease that occurs in many animal species.

INFECTION WITH TRYPANOSOMA EVANSI (NON EQUINE SURRA) Article 8.X.1 General provisions A wide range of mammals are susceptible to infection with Trypanosoma evansi (T. evansi).

T. evansi has a wide host range.

In some countries incidence of surra increases significantly during the season when biting fly populations have greatly increased. Trypanosoma evansi does not develop in its vector [4, 5]. Due to this loss of part of the mitochondrial (kinetoplast) DNA T. evansi is not capable of infecting the invertebrate vector and establishing the subsequent life-stages. It is mostly mechanically transmitted by tabanids and stomoxes, initially to camels, in sub-Saharan area. Trypanosoma evansi, the agent of “surra,” is a salivarian trypanosome, originating from Africa.It is thought to derive from Trypanosoma brucei by deletion of the maxicircle kinetoplastic DNA (genetic material required for cyclical development in tsetse flies). It has been proposed that T. evansi is—like T. equiperdum—a derivative of T. brucei. The majority of Trypanosoma evansi can be detected using diagnostic tests based on the variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) of Trypanosoma evansi Rode Trypanozoon antigen type (RoTat) 1.2.

Trypanosoma evansi Detection and Vector Identification in Central Java and Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Exceptions are a number of T. evansi isolated in Kenya. Trypanosomiasis. The disease is responsible for substantial losses in global production and can be fatal if not diagnosed early. Trypanosoma evansi is a species of excavate trypanosome in the genus Trypanosoma that causes one form of surra in animals. It is mechanically transmitted by hematophagous flies from the genera Stomoxys and Tabanus . Trypanosoma evansi is a protozoal parasite that causes a chronic wasting syndrome in horses and numerous other species, including cattle and dogs. Trypanosomiasis or surra is a protozoa disease, caused by Trypanosoma evansi. Thus, T. evansi is transmitted only mechanically by blood-sucking insects (mainly tabanids) and bats (Hoare, 1972; Wells, 1976). First Online: 22 November 2017.

Parasitol. T. evansi is a member of the subgenus Trypanozoon, which also comprises T. brucei and T. equiperdum, differing from these species by the absence of kDNA maxicircle, which renders it unable to develop cyclically in vector insects. Surra is enzootic in Africa, the Middle East, many parts of Asia, and Central and South America. Its mechanical transmission depends on the survival of the parasites in the oral cavity of the vector. [2]. This study aims to determine the prevalence of T. evansi in livestock, equids and dromedary camels in Palestine.
