Conteúdo: 	In this paper we report the first recorded occurrence of Trypanosoma vivax in the Pantanal, Brazil. The Pantanal is a seasonal floodplain of about 140,000 km2, located in the centre of South America, between 16o and 21o S and 55o and 58 W. It is divided into ten subregions differing in terms of water courses, soil types and historical occupation. Extensive cattle ranches varying from 10,000 to 200,000 ha ha occupy most of this wetland. The Pantanal is one of the most important livestock regions of Brazil. Trypanosomosis is one of the world's most important diseases of livestock and man, and makes it practically impossible to raise livestock in many parts of the tropics which would otherwise be ideal. T.vivax infects a wide range of wild and domestic ungulates, is transmissible both cyclically by tsetse flies and mechanically by other blood suckling flies, and is recognized as an important cause of cattle losses in many areas. In the acute form of infection the animal has a high temperature, lethargy, weakness, anemia and slight loss of condition and dies within five weeks. Abortion may occur, but foetal blood and amniotic fluid have been found to be infected. Weight loss may be substantial in a relatively short time.
