Abstract
An Argentinian Dogo which suffered from anorexia, lymphadenopathy, cachexia and paresis of the hind limbs was diagnosed with trypanosomiasis in Argentina in 2013. In this study, we describe the clinical profile and its evolution as well as the molecular method employed to identify and quantify Trypanosoma evansi.
