Abstract

We read with great interest the suggestion by Claes et al. [1] that some Trypanosoma equiperdum strains are, in fact, Trypanosoma brucei and that the remaining strains are Trypanosoma evansi. However, in our opinion, the classification of the T. equiperdum Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute (OVI) and Bordeaux Trypanosoma antigen type (BoTat) 1.1 strains as T. brucei, and the other T. equiperdum strains as T. evansi is premature.
