Trypanosomiasis:goats as a possible reservoir of Trypanosoma congolense in the Republic of the Sudan.
Experimental Trypanosoma congolense infections of goats and calves were compared. Goats developed a chronic form of trypanosomiasis, often recovering spontaneously from a strain which caused an acute fatal disease in calves. Goats may be important in the maintenace of T. congolense in nature in the Sudan.
