Selenoproteins have been described in all three domains of life and their function has mainly associated with oxidative stress defense. Canonical elements required for selenoprotein production identified members the kinetoplastid group supporting existence a complete selenocysteine synthesis pathway these organisms. Currently, nothing is known regarding Trypanosoma evansi. In this study, we exp...

Veterinary World Vol.1, No.9, September 2008 Introduction Trypanosomiasis is a disease complex caused by several species of blood-and tissuedwelling protozoan parasites. The disease occurs throughout the tropical regions of Africa and in large areas of Asia and South America. It affects cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, camels and man. Wild animals can also be infected with the parasites but ...

The study investigated the occurrence of trypanosomosis in water buffaloes using parasitological and molecular methods. Buffaloes of different ages and both sexes comprising Bulgarian Murrah and some crosses were used in the study. Two of the 145 samples (0.13%) were positive for Trypanosoma evansi in both, blood parasite examination and PCR. One female buffalo (1/54 samples; 1.86%) from a lact...

An histochemical and immunohistochemical study was carried out to evaluate the mechanisms of immune response of horses experimentally infected by Trypanosoma evansi. For this purpose the HE histochemical stain and the avidin biotin peroxidase method were used. To determine the presence and immunoreactivity of immune cells we used anti-major histocompatibility complex II antibodies. Cellular inf...

Movement of transmigrants and livestock from western Indonesia to southeastern areas of Irian Jaya near the border with Papua New Guinea may pose a risk of introducing Trypanosoma evansi into Papua New Guinea via feral Rusa deer (Cervus timorensis russa) and wild pigs which inhabit these areas in large numbers. Pilot experimental studies were conducted to observe infection in pigs and Rusa deer...

BACKGROUND Although camels represent a valuable source of food, wool and hide in many countries, in-depth information about their vector-borne pathogens is scarce compared to other animals. The aim of the current study was to characterize vector-borne protozoa in the blood of dromedaries from Iran by molecular tools. METHODS From June to July 2014, 200 peripheral blood samples were collected ...
