Thus, identifying them in vectors and hosts together with their classification into species, subspecies is crucial for effective control of the diseases they cause to animals and human. This study analysed 350 samples collected from cattle (100) and tsetse flies (250) of Meatu district for identification of trypanosomes through amplification of Internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS-1) region in order to support formulation of tsetse and trypanosomosis control strategies within the district. Occurrence of trypanosomes in cattle was 15%, while in tsetse was 1.20%. <em>Trypanosoma congolense</em> was identified in cattle whereas; <em>T. simiae</em> and <em>T. godfreyi</em> were identified in tsetse flies. The tsetse and trypanosomosis control options were discussed.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Advanced Veterinary Research}, author={Malulu, Deusdedit and Tuntufye, Huruma N and Temba, Benigni and Kimbita, Elikira and Malele, Imna and Kinung’hi, Safari and Nyingilili, Hamisi and Mbilu, Togolai and Kaboya, Josephat S and Lyaruu, Eugene}, year={2019}, month={Apr.}, pages={64-68} }
