Efficacy of repeated doses of diminazene aceturate (Dinazene®) in the treatment of experimental Trypanosoma brucei infection of Albino rats

The efficacy of repeated doses of Dinazene® in Albino rats experimentally infected with Trypanosoma brucei (Gboko strain) was investigated. A total of 30 adult female Albino rats weighing 130-190 g were used for the study. They were assigned to six groups (groups A-F) of five rats each. Groups A-D were infected intraperitoneally with 1.0 × 106 trypanosomes in 400 μL of PBS diluted blood while g...

Application of antigen-detection enzyme immunoassay for the diagnosis of porcine Trypanosoma brucei infection

The prevalence rate of Trypanosoma brucei infection in pigs was appraised by a monoclonal antibody-based antigen-detection enzyme immunoassay (antigen-ELISA). Blood samples were collected in the abattoir from pigs reared in the rain forest and derived savannah region of Nigeria under the traditional extensive management system. Blood samples were also collected from 50 exotic pigs reared on a c...

The study of trypanosome species circulating in domestic animals in two human African trypanosomiasis foci of Côte d'Ivoire identifies pigs and cattle as potential reservoirs of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense

BACKGROUND Important control efforts have led to a significant reduction of the prevalence of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) in Côte d'Ivoire, but the disease is still present in several foci. The existence of an animal reservoir of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense may explain disease persistence in these foci where animal breeding is an important source of income but where the prevalence of a...

Lymphocyte function in experimental african trypanosomiasis: mitogenic effects of trypanosome extracts in vitro.

Extracts of Trypanosoma brucei and Trypanosoma congolense were incubated in vitro with nonimmune lymphocytes of mice, rats, guinea pigs, and rabbits in order to test for mitogenic effects or for other characteristics of polyclonal B lymphocyte activators. Trypanosome extracts (TE) were not mitogenic for spleen cells of mice, rats, and guinea pigs in vitro, nor did the parasite extracts alter th...
