Evaluation of The Tripanosomosis Caused by Trypanosoma Vivax in Bovine of Laguneta From The Mountain, State Miranda
Keywords:
Trypanosome vivax, trypanosomosis, diagnosis, bovines, Laguneta de la MontañaAbstract
Trypanosoma vivax is a hemoflagellate parasite that causes bovine trypanosomosis, which mainly affects ruminants in tropical regions, causing a decrease in herd productivity. There are different methods for its diagnosis, among which stand out: parasitological methods, such as the technique of concentration by microhematocrit (CMH), immunologicals such as indirect ELISA (ELISAi) and molecular methods such as the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). ). The objective in this work was to evaluate the prevalence of trypanosomosis in a population of cattle of Laguneta de la Montaña of Miranda State, by detecting T. vivax by CMH, indirect ELISA and PCR.
