Abstract
As part of improvement of camel health in pastoral herds in northern Kenya a participatory epidemiological study on sero-prevalence of non-tsetse transmitted T.evansi infections in preweaned camel calves was carried out in 287 camel calves in 60 households. The clinical status of camel calves were observed, packed cell volumes (PCVs) determined and point sero-prevalence levels evaluated from direct antibody agglutination tests using the C ATTI T.evansi kit"'. Major factors associated with the infections were also determined.
