Transmission and pathogenesis
In Africa, the primary vector is the tsetse fly. These trypanosomes replicate in the tsetse fly and are transmitted through tsetse fly saliva when the fly feeds on an animal
Initial replication of trypanosomes is at the site of inoculation in the skin; this causes a swelling and a sore (chancre). Trypanosomes then spread to the lymph nodes and blood and continue to replicate

Clinical signs
Anemia, abortion , infertility, emaciation

Diagnosis
Clinical signs + laboratory tests

Treatment and control
Treatment=trypanocides
Control=tsetse fly control
