Various chemotherapeutic regimes were used to control trypanosomiasis in 3,000 Boran cattle on an estate on the Kenya coast. Recently the therapeutic use of isometamidium by the intravenous route was adopted to treat individual trypanosome-infected cattle. This was in order to overcome tissue reactions encountered after intramuscular injection and also to control a "thin cow" syndrome attributed to chronic trypanosomiasis. Toxic side effects were eliminated by careful attention to the intravenous technique which was safely used in calves, pregnant cattle and bulls. Weekly blood sampling and treatments of infected individuals resulted in a reduction of cases from 2,187 to 208 out of 46,495 and 46,329 samples examined in 1985 and 1986 respectively. The standard of management was very high and although this routine successfully controlled bovine trypanosomiasis on this estate its application elsewhere is likely to be limited.
