==Clinical Signs==

Clinical disease varies widely with death occurring from 1 week to months after infection. ''T. vivax'' is known for its rapid mortality while ''T. brucei'' and ''T. congolense'' hosts often survive for prolonged periods. Infection of large numbers of insect vectors is common in these circumstances.

Significant losses may also be caused by increased susceptibility and prevalence of other concurrent diseases where trypanosomosis is present.

Multisystemic signs can be seen in any species so diagnosis from clinical examination is often impossible as no pathognomic signs are evident.
