Trypanosomiasis

چکیده
The blood-films which I have shown1 were taken from a case of Dr. Skerritt's which was under my care for a period of two months during the past summer. The clinical history of the case will be found in the British Medical Journal, May 30th, 1903. The patient died on November 26th, and details of the postmortem examination will be published shortly. Trypanosomes belong to the order of Protozoa. They have been known as the cause of certain pathological conditions in animals, viz.: the disease known as "surra" amongst cattle in India; " nagana " (tse-tse fly disease) in S. Africa, S. America and Mauritius; " dourine" (a form of equine gonorrhoea) in N. Africa and S. Europe; " caderas," a disease of horses

متن کاملEvaluating Paratransgenesis as a Potential Control Strategy for African Trypanosomiasis
Genetic-modification strategies are currently being developed to reduce the transmission of vector-borne diseases, including African trypanosomiasis. For tsetse, the vector of African trypanosomiasis, a paratransgenic strategy is being considered: this approach involves modification of the commensal symbiotic bacteria Sodalis to express trypanosome-resistance-conferring products. Modified Sodal...
