In Ethiopia tsetse, transmitted trypanosomosis is one of the major important parasitic diseases in most parts of the country and causes a huge economic loss annually. This may have contributed to the country left undeveloped. Despite the continued interventions were applied on tsetse and trypanosomosis control at the study area still significant numbers of tsetse flies were caught and higher trypanosomosis prevalence were recorded. Regarding prevention and control of the parasite and the vector, all implemented control programs should be coordinated based on river basin wise unless scattered control program may continuously fail.

Effective veterinary services consist of four fundamental components, namely human and material resources; technical authority and capability; integration with concerned parties; and the ability to access available markets. Nonetheless, the national livestock resource has been curtailed by poor veterinary infrastructure, high prevalence of animal diseases and poor investments in veterinary professionals. The situations have been worsened especially by the fiscal challenges which have been successively limiting the effective provision of the veterinary services. Beside the poor investments in the veterinary professional lack of motivation, updated training and laboratory procedures have been observed. Veterinary diagnostic microbiology helps laboratory technologists and veterinarians to understand the way to collect, package, transport, submit and process the microbiological samples of different origin to diagnose and identify the etiological agent causing the disease and give solutions for the cases identified.
