Abstract
The results of recent field studies on the capillary agglutination test (CAT), a simple and rapid test for detecting trypanosomal antibodies in livestock, are described. The test promises to be valuable in determining the degree of trypanosomal challenge experienced by closed and settled herds of cattle.
