  A cross-sectional study was carried out from January up to March 2013 to determine the prevalence of bovine Trypanosomosis and apparent density of the tsetse flies and other biting flies in Sayonole district. The methods employed during the study were deploying trap for the collection of tsetse flies and buffy coat technique for parasitological study. About 43 traps were deployed for 48 hr for collection of tsetse fly. Among five species of tsetse flies commonly found in Ethiopia four of them G.m.submorsitans, G.pallidepes, G.f.fuscipes and G.tachinoides were captured in the study area. The overall apparent density of tsetse flies trapped was 13.01 flies/trap/day and female tsetse flies were foremost in number. Other biting flies caught were Stomoxys and Tabanus. Blood samples collected randomly from 599 cattles were assessed for trypanosoma species by buffy coat techniques. Trypanoso.. Read More»
