infection .in a 4-year old German shepherd dog
weighing 26-kg was presented to the Small Animal
Clinic, University of Nairobi, Kenya, with the history
of anorexia and difficulty in breathing. The clinical
manifestations were fever, pale mucous membrane,
dyspnea and wasting. Blood examination revealed the
existence of trypanosome parasites, and showed mild
anemia. Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) based
polymerase chain reaction confirmed the presence of
Trypanosoma cOllgo lense savannah type. Along with
supporting therapy, the' case was successfully
managed using diminazene aceturate injection (dosed
at 3.5 mglkg body weight) through intramuscular
route. Complete recovery of the case was observed on
