Conteúdo: | Animal trypanosome species of economical importance in South America include T. vivax and T. evansi. Both species are described in Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, French Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuelan. In Argentina and Guyana, only T. evansi and T. vivax are found, respectively. Our studies on T. vivax indicated thet the parasite was spreading around 1.3 km per day in Bolivia. We found severe leukopenia in bovines from Panatanal (Brazil) and the Department of Santa Cruz (Bolivia). Because it can cause immunosupression, the importance of trypanosomiasis control in ensuring success of vaccination campaings against foot and month disease (FMD) in the panatanal and Bolivia should be considered. The use of one needle for several animal during FMD capmpaings in Brazil and Bolivia could also contribute to the spread of T. vivax. The anticipated losses due to T. vivax could exceed $ 160 million, assuming there are 11 million head of cattle in the Brazilian Pantanal and Bolivian lowlands. International collaboration among research institutes is needed to deal with these diseases and parasites. Previous efforts using information technologies resulted in the creation of two discussion lists (Tryplink and Trypan), the edition of the on-line version of Trypnews and Internet conferences.
