Conteúdo: | Trypanosoma vivax was reported in the New World for the first time in French Guyana (Leger and Vienne, 1919), and later in others parts of South America, Central America, and some Caribbean islands (Melendez et al., 1995). In Brazil, Shaw and Lainson (1972), reported the first occurrence of T. vivax. The parasite was observed in a water buffalo (Bubalis bubalis) from the vicinity of the city of Belem, Para State. Twenty there years later Silva et al. (1996) reported the occurrence of T. vivax in the north of Pantanal. The Pantanal is one of the most important livestock regions of Brazil. The following year they reported outbreaks of T. vivax in the lowlands of Bolivia. With a population of 1,598,957 bovines, this is the most important livestock producing region of Bolivia. The extended period between the report of Shaw & Lainson rocording T. vivax, in the northern region of Brazil, and that of Silva et al. (1996), in the Pantanal, suggests that the Amazonian forest constituted a physical barrier impeding the moment of cattle between these regions. However, the 1970's experienced increased and accelerated activities in the construction of roads through the interior of the country and linking the north the central regions. The roads, BR 163 and BR 230, link Cuiaba (Capital of Mato Grosso State and located 100 Km east of Pocone) to Belem, and have contributed to an increase in cattle throughout the region, this may have contributed to the spread to T. vivax in the Pantanal.
