Trypanosomosis caused by Trypanosoma evansi, commonly known as “surra,” is a wasting disease
affecting equids, camels, cattle, as well as several other domestic and wild animals. No systematic information
is available on disease pattern in equines for development of control and treatment strategies
in endemic areas in India. The present study was undertaken with a comprehensive plan to screen large
population of equines using indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to obtain epidemiological
information on “surra” in different agro-climatic zones of India. A total of 6455 serum samples were
tested, of them 338 (5.24%) were found positive for T. evansi antibodies during the years 2011e2012 to
2014e2015. The highest prevalence (9.75%) was recorded from Gangetic plains of Uttarakhand and Uttar
Pradesh, while western dry region (Rajasthan) recorded the lowest (2.85%) prevalence rate. This study
showed serological evidence of T. evansi infection in equines at a low prevalence rate, but the highest
prevalence rate during the study was witnessed during 2011e2012. The disease was found prevalent
throughout the year in different seasons with sporadic outbreaks in equines. However, higher prevalence
was observed in postmonsoon season (September to November) and the lowest during winter season
(December to February). Furthermore, no significant difference in disease prevalence was observed sex
and species wise.
