This project established a collaborative network for livestock hemoparasite research across Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana, pooling resources and sharing information to improve animal health. Preliminary results on cattle hemoparasites are discussed, with plans to expand the network.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Parasitology
  • Animal Health

Background:

  • Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana share similarities but have limited contact due to linguistic and political differences.
  • Two international organizations, IICA and CIRAD-EMVT, initiated a collaborative project in 1993 to address animal health challenges.
  • The project focuses on hemoparasites affecting livestock in the Guianas region.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a collaborative network for generating and exchanging information on livestock hemoparasites.
  • To pool livestock, laboratory, and technical resources among the three countries.
  • To determine the prevalence, distribution, and significance of hemoparasites, particularly Trypanosoma species, in cattle.

Main Methods:

  • Creation of a Hemoparasite Reference Laboratory for the Guianas at CIRAD-EMVT in French Guiana.

  • Processing of ruminant serum samples and training of laboratory personnel in diagnostic techniques.
  • Conducting a large-scale epidemiological study on cattle hemoparasites.

    • Main Results:

    • A Hemoparasite Information Network (TRYPNET) was initiated, including a newsletter (TRYPNEWS).
    • Preliminary results from the epidemiological study on cattle hemoparasites are presented and discussed.
    • The reference laboratory processes samples and provides training for veterinary personnel.

    Conclusions:

    • The collaborative project has successfully pooled resources and initiated information exchange on hemoparasites.
    • The established network and ongoing studies aim to improve understanding and management of hemoparasitic diseases in livestock.
    • Future expansion of the network to include Venezuela and Brazil is proposed.
