  • Published:
Tropical Animal Health and Production Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The mechanical transmission of nagana trypanosomes is reviewed in relation to the presence ofTrypanosoma vivax in countries outside Africa where tsetse are unknown. The conclusion is reached that cyclical transmission in a vector other than tsetse must remain a possibility in these locations.

Résumé

Une revue de la transmission mécanique des trypanosomes du nagana est donnée, sous le rapport de la présence deTrypanosoma vivax dans des pays en dehors de l’Afrique, où les glossines sont inconnues. On conclut qu’une transmission cyclique dans un vecteur autre que les glossines doit rester une possibilité dans ces régions.

Sumario

La trasmision mecánica de los tripanosomas de la nagana es revisada en relación a la presencia delTrypanosoma vivax en paises fuera del Africa, en donde las moscas tsetse son desconocidas. Se llega a la conclusión de que la trasmisión cíclica en un vector diferente a la mosca tsetse debe de ser una posibilidad en estas localidades.
