Background:Changes of land cover modify the characteristics of habitat,host-vector interaction and consequently infection rates of disease causing agents.In this paper,we report variations in tsetse distribution patterns,abundance and infection rates in relation to habitat types and age in the Maasai Steppe of northern Tanzania.In Africa,Tsetse-transmitted trypanosomiasis negatively impacted human life where about 40 million people are at risk of contracting the disease with dramatic socio-economical consequences,for instance,loss of livestock,animal productivity,and manpower.Methods:We trapped tsetse flies in dry and wet seasons between October 2014 and May 2015 in selected habitats across four villages:Emboreet,Loiborsireet,Kimotorok and Oltukai adjacent to protected areas.Data collected include number and species of tsetse flies caught in baited traps,PCR identification of trypanosome species and extraction of monitored Normalized Difference Vegetation Index(NDVI)data from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer(MODIS).Results:Our findings demonstrate the variation of tsetse fly species abundance and infection rates among habitats in surveyed villages in relation to NDVI and host abundance.Results have shown higher tsetse fly abundance in Acacia-swampy ecotone and riverine habitats for Emboreet and other villages,respectively.Tsetse abundance was inconsistent among habitats in different villages.Emboreet was highly infested with Glossina swynnertoni(68%)in ecotone and swampy habitats followed by G.morsitans(28%)and G.pallidipes(4%)in riverine habitat.In the remaining villages,the dominant tsetse fly species by 95%was G.pallidipes in all habitats.Trypanosoma vivax was the most prevalent species in all infected flies(95%)with few observations of co-infections(with T.congolense or T.brucei).Conclusions:The findings of this study provide a framework to mapping hotspots of tsetse infestation and trypanosomiasis infection and enhance the communities to plan for effective control of trypanosomiasis.

Objective:To investigate the effects of combination therapy of methanolic leaf extract of Azadirachta indica(A.indica) and diminazene diaceturate(DDA) in the treatment of experimental Trypanosoma brucei brucei(T.brucei brucei) infection in rats.Methods:Acute toxicity study of the drug and extract combinations were done.Selection of the best drug and extract combinations was carried out using fifty four rats of both sexes separated into 9 groups.Three dose combinations were derived from selection of the best drug and extract combinations used for the final study viz:7 mg/kg bw DDA plus 125 mg/kg bw extract(group B),3.5 mg/kg bw DDA plus 250 mg/kg bw extract(group C),and 1.8 mg/kg bw DDA plus 500 mg/kg bw extract(group D).The final study had in addition to the three groups derived from the dose response study,four other groups viz:uninfected untreated negative control(group F),infected and treated with 3 000 mg/kg bw extract alone(group E),infected and treated with 7 mg/kg bw DDA alone(group A),and infected untreated positive control(group G).The parameters assessed were onset of parasitaemia(OP), level of parasitaemia(LOP),clearance of parasites post treatment(COPPT),relapse infection period(RIP),post infection survival period(PIST).Results:There was no significant difference in OP between the groups(P<0.05).One day post treatment,the mean LOP of groups A,B,and C were found to be significantly lower than that of group D which in turn was lower than that of group E and G respectively.The mean LOP of group E was significantly lower than group G two days post treatment and this trend continued throughout the experimental period.Mean COPPT of group D was significantly longer than that of groups A,C and B.There was no significant difference in the mean COPPT among groups B,C and A.The mean RIP of group D was significantly shorter than group C,and that of group C was significantly shorter than that of group A.There was no relapse of infection in group B.The PIST of group E did not differ significantly from group G.Co

The diurnal activity, movement and trypanosome infection rates of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes （Diptera： Glossinidae） in Buvuma Island, Lake Victoria, Uganda

The diurnal activity patterns, trypanosome infection rates and movement of Glossinafuscipesfuscipes （Diptera： Glossinidae） were investigated in Buvuma Island, Lake Victoria, Uganda. Hourly trapping of tsetse flies was undertaken to determine their activity rhythm while a capture-mark-release-recapture method was conducted to assess the movement and dispersal of tsetse flies between lakeshore, hinterland and further inland sites along a transected area. Dissection of tsetse flies was also undertaken to determine the trypanosome infection rates in salivary glands, proboscis and mid-gut. Results indicated a bimodal diurnal activity profile for G. f fuscipes on the Island, both on the lakeshore and in the hinterland. Movement and dispersal of G. f fuscipes tsetse flies occurred between lakeshore, hinterland and further inland sites with a greater tendency of flies to move to the lakeshore. Trypanosome infection rates of 4.32% for Trypasoma vivax and 1.15% for 7. congolense were found in G. f. fuscipes.

Effect of experimental single Ancylostoma caninum and mixed infections of Trypanosoma brucei and Trypanosoma congolense on the humoural immune response to anti-rabies vaccination in dogs

Objective:To determine the effect of Ancylostoma caninum(A.caninum)and trypanosome parasites on the immune response to vaccination in dogs in endemic environments.Methods:Sixteen dogs for the experiment were grouped into 4 of 4 members each.Group I was the uninfected control one,and GPII was infected with A.caninum;GPIII was infected with A.caninum/Trypanosoma congolense(T.congolense),and GPIV was infected with Trypanosoma brucei(T.brucei)/A.caninum.The dogs were first vaccinated with antirabies vaccine before infecting GPII,GPIII and GPIV with A.caninum which were done 4 weeks after vaccination.By 2-week post-vaccination,trypanosome parasites were superimposed on both GPIII and GPIV.A secondary vaccination was given to GPI,GPII,GPIII,and GPIV by Week 12 of the experiment(4 weeks post treatment).Results:The prepatent period was(3.00±1.40)days,in the conjunct infection of T.brucei/A.caninum.It was(9.00±1.10)days,in conjunct T.congolense/A.caninum.The prepatent period of A.caninum was(14.0±2.0)days in the single A.caninum group and(13.0±1.0)days in the conjunct trypanosome/A.caninum.At the 1st week after vaccination,the antibody titer in all the vaccinated groups(GPI,GPII,GPIII,and GPIV)significantly increased(P<0.05)and peaked at the 3rd week after vaccination.Following infections,there were marked significant decreases(P<0.05)in the antibody production against rabies in GPII,GPIII and GPIV.The significant decrease(P<0.05)in antibody titer was highest in the conjunct groups(GPIII and GPIV)compared to the single infection(GPII).Treatment with diminazene aceturate and mebendazole did not significantly improve antibody response in the dogs.A secondary vaccination administered at the 12th week after the primary vaccination significantly increased(P<0.05)the antibody titer with a peak at the 3rd week after the secondary vaccination.Conclusions:It was therefore concluded that A.caninum,T.brucei and T.congolense induced immunosuppression in antirabies vaccination in dogs.
