Trypanosomiasis, caused by Trypanosoma congolense , was diagnosed for the first time in Israel in two boxer dogs imported from Kenya. The dogs developed clinical signs two days after arrival and succumbed to the disease within four days. The major clinical and clinicopathological findings included anaemia, haemorrhages, lymphadenomegaly, hepatosplenomegaly and neurological signs. Histopathology showed lymphocytic‐plasmacytic infiltration in the skin, brain, meninges, kidney and liver.
