Serum levels of total protein, albumin, activity of hemolytic complement, and complement component C3 were decreased in cattle infected with either T. congolense or T. vivax. The hemolytic complement activity was reduced most, i.e. to 20% (T. congolense) or 5% (T. vivax) of control levels. The
It has long been known that the vervet monkey, Chlorocebus (C.) aethiops, can be infected with Trypanosoma rhodesiense, but this model has not been described for T. gambiense. In this study, we report the development of such a model for human African trypanosomiasis. Twelve vervet monkeys infected
Cattle that were inoculated with an antigen derived from the flagellar pocket of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and then infected with Trypanosoma congolense and Trypanosoma vivax were compared with unvaccinated cattle when both groups of cattle were placed in regions of Kenya endemic for tsetse
Trypanosoma evansi infection typically produces wasting disease, but it can also develop into a neurological or meningoencephalitis form in equids. Trypanosomiasis in horses was treated with quinapyramine sulfate, and all the 14 infected animals were recovered clinically. After clinical recovery,
The possible occurrence of immune complexes (IC) in serum and in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has been studied in 36 patients with African trypanosomiasis (Trypanosoma brucei gambiense). In serum, very high levels of IC were detectable by the (125)I-C1q-binding and by the conglutinin-binding assays
Serum albumin and glucose concentrations and urinary excretion of alpha-keto acids and proteins were determined in samples obtained throughout a chronic Trypanosoma brucei gambiense infection in Microtus montanus. An increase in urinary excretion of alpha-keto acids and proteins during the terminal
Sheep that have been experimentally infected with a strain of Trypanosoma brucei brucei reproduce the clinical symptomatology of human African trypanosomiasis. We measured two biochemical parameters which are altered during the infection; total serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins, and the
The stage of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is important to define precisely as far as it is directly related to the type of treatment used. The beginning of the neurological involvement is difficult to find out because there is no known specific clinical or biological sign. This study is
Antibodies directed against nitrosylated epitopes have been found in sera from patients suffering from human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) but not in sera from control subjects living in the same endemic area or African control subjects living in France. We conjugated amino acids to albumin by
Blood samples were collected from 46 domestic ruminants comprising of 23 trypanosomiasis infected and 23 uninfected control groups to study some biochemical and haematological effects of trypanosomiasis under natural condition. The effect of trypanosome infection in ruminant animals showed that
The haematological changes, erythrokinetics and ferrokinetics of sheep were investigated after infection with Trypanosoma congolense. Following the detection of parasites in blood, the infected sheep developed macrocytic hypochromic anaemia. Studies with 51Cr-red cells, 125I-albumin and 59Fe as
The glossina control turns towards cheaper, ecological, easier techniques: trapping, which the efficacy might be increased by odour attractants; synthetic pyrethrinoids (impregnated targets; dipping or application of "Pour-on" formulations on skin of cattle). Only one new trypanocide was set up
Bacteriological study of mastitis along with common blood protozoan diseases were studied in dromedary camels in Cholistan, Dera Ismail Khan and Rahim Yar Khan districts in South Punjab, Pakistan. For this purpose 300 camels were sampled randomly at different common grazing and watering point. For
The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of Trypanosoma vivax infection on the shape of the lactation curve and the milk quality of dairy goats experimentally infected with T. vivax. In total, twenty Saanen goats, aged 26-30 months and the same number of calving (two calvings), were divided
