ABSTRACT
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was used on 13 isolates of T. evansi from Butana, Gadarif and Southern Kordofan state. The result showed that PCR was very sensitive in detecting differences in Butana and Gadarif states. The isolates which tested by PCR in Butana and Gadarif states, 9 of them were resistant to Quinapyramine sulphate and 7 isolates were sensitive to Cymelarsan. One isolate out of 4 isolates tested by PCR in southern Kordofan state was sensitive to both Quinapyramine sulphate and Cymelarsan.
