New Trypanosoma evansi Type B Isolates from Ethiopian Dromedary Camels.
BACKGROUND Trypanosoma (T.) evansi is a dyskinetoplastic variant of T. brucei that has gained the ability to be transmitted by all sorts of biting flies. T. evansi can be divided into type A, which is the most abundant and found in Africa, Asia and Latin America and type B, which has so far been isolated only from Kenyan dromedary camels. This study aimed at the isolation and the genetic and ph...
متن کاملTrypanocidal activity of human plasma on Trypanosoma evansi in mice.
This study aimed to test an alternative protocol with human plasma to control Trypanosoma evansi infection in mice. Plasma from an apparently 27-year-old healthy male, blood type A+, was used in the study. A concentration of 100 mg.dL(-1) apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) was detected in the plasma. Forty mice were divided into four groups with 10 animals each. Group A comprised uninfected animals. Mic...
متن کاملCorrection: Population Genetics of Trypanosoma evansi from Camel in the Sudan
Genetic variation of microsatellite loci is a widely used method for the analysis of population genetic structure of microorganisms. We have investigated genetic variation at 15 microsatellite loci of T. evansi isolated from camels in Sudan and Kenya to evaluate the genetic information partitioned within and between individuals and between sites. We detected a strong signal of isolation by dist...
متن کاملEXPERIMENTAL Trypanosoma Evansi INFECTION IN ALBINO MICE – A HISTOPATHOLOGICAL STUDY
Histopathological changes were studied in Swiss albino mice (N:36) which were challenged with the South Indian local strain of Trypanosoma evansi. Each animal was infected with 5×105 trypanosomes intraperitoneally. The animals were examined daily for development of clinical signs and infection status by wet blood-fi lms made from the tail veins. The infected mice were dull and depressed from tw...
متن کاملTrypanosoma Evansi Infections
Definition of the disease: Trypanosoma evansi causes a disease known as Trypanosomosis1 (‘surra’). It affects a number of species of domesticated animals in Asia, Africa and Central and South America. The principal host species affected varies geographically, but buffalo, cattle, camels and horses are particularly affected, although other animals, including wildlife, are also susceptible. It is...
