Conteúdo: | The Bolivian and Brazilian lowlands are located in the center of South America. The principal Bolivian lowlands are located in the Santa Cruz Department and the Brazilian lowlands in the Pantanal region. The Santa Cruz Department is the largest and most important in Bolivia regarding economic production. With a population of 1,598.957 bovines, it is the most important livestock region of Bolivia. The greatest number of cattle is found in extensive lowland provinces of Nuflo de Chavez, Guayaros, Velasco, Chiquitos, Angel Sandoval and Cordillera. The Pantanal is a seasonal floodplain of about 140,000km2 and is divided into 11 subregions. It is populated by 3,996.000 cattle and 4,966 buffalo and it is among the most important livestock regions of Brazil. Extensive cattle ranches occupy most of these wetlands. These regions present a rich fauna of mammals, reptiles, birds and insects. ATM Barros identified 25 species of Tabanidae, belonging to 15 genera and three subfamilies in the Pantanal and Hall et al. identified 35 species of Tabanidae belonging to 16 genera in the Santa Cruz Department. Here, we discuss the origin of bovine trypanosomosis due to Trypanosoma vivax in Brazil and its relationship with outbreaks in Bolivia.
