Six years old buffalo was presented to the clinic with history of abortion at fourth month gestation. Up on clinical examination buffalo had fever, anorexia, bilateral ocular discharges, respiratory distress and emaciation. Laboratory examination of blood revealed presence of trypanosomes in the peripheral blood smears. Buffalo was treated with diminazine aceturate along with fluid and supportive therapy. Abortion might be due to hypoglycemia developed by the Trypanosoma evansi infection in this buffalo.
