Trypanosoma equiperdum

This is another major protozoal disease of domestic animals prevalent primarily in tropical Africa. The infection is mainly transmitted by tsetse flies, though salivarian or stercoranian methods of infection are also known. Some blood sucking insects such as Tabanus and Stomoxys flies, and also vampire bats may transmit trypanosomiasis in animals. Infections with Trypanosoma equiperdum in horses and donkeys may also be transmitted during coitus.
