  abstract = {{T}rypanosoma evansi, known as an animal trypanosome, is widely distributed in many countries of {A}frica, {A}sia and {S}outh {A}merica; it causes significant economic loss in these countries. {A} few cases have also occurred in some countries of {E}urope due to the importation of infected animals from endemic regions. {R}are human {T}. evansi infections were attended by the health departments and international health organizations in these endemic countries. {T}rypanosoma lewisi, a cosmopolitan parasite of rats, sometimes found in humans, is currently considered as a zoonotic pathogen and has gained special attention from scientists and international health organizations such as the {W}orld {H}ealth {O}rganization. {T}he current study considered the serological screening of human infection by {T}. evansi and {T}. lewisi in a {C}hinese human population. {N}one of the 622 samples was found positive for {T}. evansi infection using the card agglutination test for the trypanosome antigen {R}otat 1.2, while, 2.41% of the examined serum samples exhibited some seropositivity to {T}. lewisi using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. {N}o significant difference was found between the samples from areas in the {S}outh ({Z}haoqing, {G}uangdong) and {C}entral ({Z}hengzhou, {H}enan) {C}hina.},
