锥虫病是撒哈拉以南非洲牛最重要的感染性威胁之一，一种形式也蔓延到亚洲和南美。该疾病是由锥虫物种的复合物引起的，寄生虫的物种和菌株可能会对宿主寄生虫载体关系的流行病学产生深远的影响，因此，感染的严重程度和过程以及控制方法的实施和发展。这篇综述将总结我们当前对锥虫物种/基因型与牛疾病表型之间关系的了解，以及这对开发诊断，药物和疫苗的持续努力对控制牛锥虫病的控制所产生的影响。
Trypanosomosis is one of the most significant infectious threats to cattle in sub-Saharan Africa, and one form has also spread to Asia and South America. The disease is caused by a complex of trypanosome species, and the species and strain of parasite can have a profound influence upon the epidemiology of the host parasite vector relationships, the severity and course of infection, and, consequently, the implementation and development of control methods. This review will summarise our current knowledge of the relationship between trypanosome species/genotype and the phenotype of disease in cattle, and the implications that this has for ongoing efforts to develop diagnostics, drugs and vaccines for the control of cattle trypanosomosis.
