Highlights
Trypanosomes were detected in cattle, sheep, and goats in Sudan using CATT/T. evansi.
Trypanoszoon and T. vivax were detected in sheep and goats in Sudan.
Trypanoszoon, T. vivax, and T. congolense were detected in cattle in Sudan.
Sheep and goats may play important roles in the epidemiology of trypanosomosis.
