on 5.12.08 with 0 comments



There is a definite animal reservoir for T. b. rhodesiense in cattle, bushbuck and various antelopes. The existence of an animal resevoir for T. b. gambiense was previously unknown, but it is now accepted (dogs, pigs). The epidemiological significance of this reservoir is still not well known.
