Abstract
A survey was conducted in Song Local Government Area of Adamawa State on Trypanosomiasis to determine the influence of age, sex and breed on the susceptibility to the infection. A total of 240 blood samples of different breeds, Sexes and ages of cattle were collected from randomly selected herd and analyzed in laboratory using wet, thick, thin smear and Buffy coat concentration techniques. An overall infection rate in males and females were 9.17% and 17.50% respectively, infection rates in Red Bororo, Adamawa Gudali and White Fulani were found to be 13.16%, 14.00% and 12.00% respectively. The result shows that Adamawa gudali has the highiest with White Fulani cattle having the lowest rate of infectioon. Trjpanosoma vivax infection was 9.17% and Tiypanosoma congolence was 4.16%. This result shows that the trypanosomiasis in the area is of great economic importance.Key words: Trypanosomiasis, age, sex, breed.
