  1. aInfected cattle include all animals in which DNA of an identified Trypanosoma sp. was detected, but not those animals in which PCR products of unknown bodonid origin were observed
  2. bNegative cattle include all animals in which no identified Trypanosoma sp. was detected
  3. cAmplicon of 100 bp detected but not identified
  4. dA PCR product indicating the presence of the Bodonidae was detected
