This study was aimed at assessing the prevalence of bovine trypanosomiasis and the density of tsetse flies in the Gechi District, western Ethiopia.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    A cross\u2010sectional study was conducted from March to September 2022 in Gechi District, western Ethiopia.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Out of 471 blood samples collected from randomly selected animals, 32 (6.79%) tested positive for trypanosomes, with\n                    <jats:italic>Trypanosome vivax<\/jats:italic>\n                    (71.87%) being the most prevalent, followed by\n                    <jats:italic>Trypanosome congolense<\/jats:italic>\n                    (25%) and\n                    <jats:italic>Trypanosome brucei<\/jats:italic>\n                    (3.13%).
