Popis: The haemoassessment of dogs with single Trypanosoma congolense (T. congolense ) and conjunct T. congolense /A. caninum was determined in this study. Twelve mongrels of both sexes weighing between 4 to 8 kg were grouped into 3 of 4 members each. The group i (GPI) was the uninfected (control), group ii (GPII) was infected with T. congolense and group iii (GPIII) was conjunct infection of T. congolense/A. caninum. Post acclimatization GPIII was infected with 200 infective L 3 of A. caninum , 2 weeks later both GPII and GPIII were given 2.5x10 6 trypanosomes intraperitoneally. Three weeks post trypanosome infection, treatment was done with 100 mg of mebendazole twice daily for 3 days and 7 mg/kg of diminazene aceturate. Result showed a significant decrease (p
