Trypanosomiasis is one of the most important animal diseases in Ethiopia causing many thousands of deaths each year and the disease is not limited to Ethiopia alone. Approximately quarter of the total land surface of the African continent is estimated to b infested by tsetse flies and virtually allot this infested area 1s south of the Sahara. The geographical distribution of the various species of trypanosomas and their vector host, the tsetse flles. has been studied by a number of investigators. While all the species of the cyclically transmitted trypanosomes are distributed over Africa south of the Sahara, the predominant species vary between east, central, and west Africa.
