Abstract

A protozoan infection of the disease is impacting both humans and animals in nearly every region worldwide. It can represent a wide range of domestic and wild hosts, including deer, elephants, goats, sheep, dogs, pigs, horses, cattle, buffaloes, and camelids. Due to varying diagnostic techniques such as Giemsa-stained blood smears, molecular assay (PCR), and serological testing, in addition to variations in the spread of Tse tse flies (vector), the prevalence of trypanosomiasis varies between the countries. In Sudan, the prevalence of trypanosomiasis in camels is higher than in other nations; (17% and 51.78%) of cases, respectively, are clinical and non-clinical. Therefore, it is important to utilize accurate diagnostic tests for quick treatment or illness control, as delayed treatment might result in the camels' death.
