Associations between PCV values and trypanosome species infected in cattle.

PCV Status T. congolense T. vivax T. b. brucei T. b. rhodesiense All trypanosomes Total animals No trypanosomes
<24% Anemic 62.5% (10/16)* 12.5% (2/16) 6.2% (1/16) 0% (0/16) 68.7% (11/16)* 16 5
24–50% Normal 3.5% (15/430) 2.3% (10/430) 0.5% (1/430) 5.6% (24/430) 11.4% (49/430) 430 404
Total 5.6% 2.7% 0.4% 5.4% 13.4% (60/446) 446 409

The proportion in parentheses (n/n) represents the number of trypanosome-infected animals compared to the total number of animals. Asterisk (*) indicates that the anemic status in T. congolense infection is significantly higher than infection with T. vivax and Trypanozoon (p < 0.05).
