    Author: Dirie MF, Wallbanks KR, Aden AA, Bornstein S, Ibrahim MD.
    Journal: Vet Parasitol; 1989 Aug 01; 32(4):285-91. PubMed ID: 2781715.
    Abstract:
    Blood samples from 3000 Somali camels (Camelus dromedarius) were examined for trypanosome infection. Of these, 160 (5.33%) were infected with Trypanosoma evansi, one (0.03%) with T. congolense and one (0.03%) with T. brucei. Camel trypanosomiasis occurred in most areas of tabanid infestation throughout the country. The tabanids Philoliche zonata and P. magretti are incriminated as the major vectors of the disease.
