Polypeptide Profiles of Diminazene Aceturate Resistant Trypanosoma evansi Organisms Isolated from a Buffalo

چکیده
Trypanosomosis was recorded in a buffalo during the month of September 2014 in Proddatur of Andhra Pradesh, India. Disease was confirmed by the presence of Trypanosoma evansi organisms in peripheral blood smears. Buffalo was treated with intra muscular administration of diminazene aceturate at the rate of 3.5 mg per kg body weight along with supportive therapy. After two days of therapy, re-examination of blood smear revealed the presence of live Trypanosoma evansi organisms. To determine the profiles of diminazene resistant Trypanosoma evansi organism’s whole blood was collected and processed. Whole cell lysate antigen was prepared from the host cell free Trypanosoma evansi parasites. A total of 8 polypeptide bands with relative molecular weight of 34, 48, 53, 55, 64, 74, 80 and 98 kDa were identified. Buffalo was successfully treated with sub cutaneous administration of antrycide prosalt, at the dose rate of 7.5 mg per kg body weight along with supportive therapy. S. Sivajothi1* and B.

A drug incubation infectivity test (DIIT) for assessing resistance in trypanosomes.
Blood stream forms of drug-resistant and sensitive Trypanosoma brucei brucei, Trypanosoma brucei evansi and Trypanosoma vivax were incubated in a liquid medium for 24 h at 37 degrees C in the presence of various concentrations of diminazene aceturate (Berenil) or isometamidium chloride (Samorin), and assayed for infectivity in mice. Whereas the infectivity to mice of all Samorin-sensitive trypa...
متن کاملPhysio-biochemical Alterations in Trypanosoma Infected Dog
Trypanosomosis is a disease caused by a flagellate protozoan known as Trypanosoma evansi, transmitted by hematophagous insects. It parasites showed a large diversity of mammalian hosts. Dogs may show clinical changes such as weight loss, progressive weakness, anorexia, anemia, intermittent fever, conjunctivitis, swelling of limbs and increased of superficial lymph nodes. Treatment of trypanosom...
متن کاملThe susceptibility of Trypanosoma congolense isolated in Zambézia Province, Mozambique, to isometamidium chloride, diminazene aceturate and homidium chloride.
Resistance to trypanocidal drugs has been detected in various African countries and is a serious impediment to the control of livestock trypanosomosis. To determine whether drug resistant trypanosome strains are present in the Zambézia Province of Mozambique a study was initiated. To assess the effect of the farming system and the drug-use regimen on the development of drug resistance, trypanos...
متن کاملFive-fold increase in Trypanosoma congolense isolates resistant to diminazene aceturate over a seven-year period in Eastern Zambia.
Two groups of Trypanosoma congolense isolates collected from cattle in 1996 (n=39) and 2003 (n=38) in the Eastern Province of Zambia were analyzed by BclI-PCR-RFLP to assess the evolution of diminazene aceturate (DA) resistance over a period of seven years. The results show a significant increase of DA resistance in this relatively short period of time. In 1996, among the 39 isolates, 61.5% wer...

Twenty-nine cattle, naturally infected with Trypanosoma congolense Kibaha, were subjected to chemotherapy with diminazene aceturate (Berenil, Hoechst) at 3.5 to 14.0 mg/kg. Fourteen animals recovered while six were refractory to treatment at 7.0 to 14.0 mg/kg. Further treatment of the Berenil-resistant isolates with isometamidium chloride (Samorin, May and Baker) at 1.0 mg/kg, effected cure. Co...
