  abstract = {{T}he first outbreak of trypanosomosis caused by {T}rypanosoma evansi in camels in {F}rance was reported on a farm in the {A}veyron {D}epartment. {F}ive camels were imported from the {C}anary islands to the farm in early {J}uly 2006, and trypanosomes were observed on a stained blood smear from one of them, which died in {O}ctober. on further investigations, trypanosomes were observed in the blood of five camels, three of them indigenous to the farm and two that had been imported. on the basis of microscopical examination (morphological criteria and measurements) and serological results based on the card agglutination {T} evansi test and {PCR} typing, the parasites were identified as {T} evansi. {A}fter treatment with melarsomine, the infected camels rapidly became negative by parasitological tests and were negative two to four months later by serological tests. {T}he parasite was probably transmitted by tabanids and {S}tomoxys calcitrans, which were abundant in {J}uly to {S}eptember 2006. {N}o parasites were observed in other animals on the farm or on neighbouring farms, but some of the sheep on these farms were positive by {PCR} or serology.},
