Overview

A PCR-based survey finds significant trypanosomosis prevalence in herded domestic animals in Mongolia, suggesting implications for livestock health.

Key Points

  • This research aims to determine the prevalence of animal trypanosomosis among herded domestic animals in Mongolia.
  • Screened 1,058 domestic animals including camels, yaks, goats, sheep, cattle, and horses
  • Utilized KIN (ITS1) PCR for detection of Trypanosoma evansi
  • Analyzed prevalence rates based on species, sex, and age
  • 21.27% of samples tested positive for animal trypanosomosis
  • Significant differences in prevalence found among species (p < 0.01)
  • Higher prevalence observed in male animals (p < 0.05) and adults (p < 0.05)
  • Sheep in Khovd Province showed a significantly higher prevalence than those in Bayan-Ulgii (p < 0.01)
