Abstract

The aim of this study was to report the Trypanosoma vivax in goats from a property located in the west of the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The identification of the parasite occurred at random, that is, it was displayed a similar morphological trypomastigote form in the blood smear of an animal in the property. Subsequently, in blood samples collected from five goats on the same day, it was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) the presence of the parasite in three of these animals. Being that by chance, consistent clinical signs related to trypanosomosis in these animals were not observed. The animals were not subjected to therapeutic treatment, because the molecular confirmation of the parasitism happened 1.4 years after the sample collection. Therefore, the T. vivax parasite infects goats in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil.
