Camel trypanosomosis in Rajasthan, India.
Blood samples from 240 camels (Camelus dromedarius) were examined for trypanosome infection. Of these, 18 (7.50%) were found to be infected using the wet blood Giemsa stain technique, while 76 (31.66%) camels were found to be positive for Trypanosoma evansi antigen using the double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The latter was found to be a more useful method for the detection of current infection.
