采用湿血膜、血涂片染色技术和微红细胞压积离心技术（MHCT）对937只犬进行伊文氏锥虫感染筛查。本研究中，2.28%的公犬和2.40%的母犬MHCT检测呈阳性。结果表明，伊文氏体感染对犬的性别没有影响。杂种犬伊文氏体感染率高于博美、杂交品种、德国牧羊犬、杜宾犬和拉布拉多品种。犬伊文氏体感染的年龄患病率显示，2岁以下幼犬的患病率高于2岁以上幼犬。
A total of 937 dogs were screened for Trypanosoma evansi infection by wet blood film, blood smear staining techniques and micro haematocrit centrifugation technique (MHCT). In the present study, 2.28% of male dogs and 2.40% of female dogs were found positive by MHCT method. The findings indicated that there was no effect of T. evansi infection on sex of dogs. Higher prevalence of T. evansi infection was observed in Mongrel than in Pomeranian, Cross breeds, German Shepherd, Doberman and Labrador breeds. Age wise prevalence of T. evansi infection in dogs revealed that younger ones, below the 2years age group recorded the highest prevalence than the above the 2years age group dogs.
