immunoconglutinin and antibody against fibrinogen products in hemolytic anemia and nephritis resulting from infection with a haemobartonella-like agent.an agent morphologically similar to haemobartonella muris was isolated from the blood of rats infected with a strain of trypanosoma lewisi kept at this department. it caused acute hemolytic anemia, splenomegaly, glomerulonephritis, and death within 5 to 8 days in mature sprague-dawley rats. the disease was less severe in weanling rats which usually recovered within 3 to 4 wk. the anemia was accompanied by phagocytosis of erythrocytes by monocytes of the spleen and bone marrow, by high titers of ...19817264835
trans-sialidase and sialidase activities discriminate between morphologically indistinguishable trypanosomatids.the expression of trans-sialidase and sialidase activities in the kinetoplastid protozoa was explored as a potential marker to discriminate between the morphologically indistinguishable flagellates isolated from human, insects and vertebrate reservoir hosts. by virtue of the differences observed in the ratios of these enzyme activities, a collection of 52 species and strains comprising the major taxa of these parasites could be separated into four expression types. type-i parasites express compa ...19947925453
an unusual morphological type of trypanosoma (herpetosoma) lewisi (kent, 1880) detected in the blood of rattus norvegicus in india.an unusual morphological type of trypanosoma (herpetosoma) lewisi (kent, 1880) which was detected in rattus norvegicus in india is reported in the present study. this type is different from known types of t. lewisi in that the kinetoplast is at a greater distance from the posterior end (p-k) than the usual type. the total length, including the free flagellum, is 35.3-39.3 microns and p-k is 11.9-15.0 as against total length of 21 to 36.5 microns in the normal form.19938014434
identification of membrane-associated proteins in trypanosoma brucei encoding an internal, earlraee amino acid repeat.differential screening of expression libraries with nonimmune and day 4-6 immune serum from naive rats infected with the protozoan trypanosoma lewisi was used to identify potential cell surface protein coding genes. several t. lewisi cdnas that resulted were partially characterized and used to clone the homologues from trypanosoma brucei. the nucleotide sequence of the cdnas encoding the tb-29 genes of the parasitic protozoan t. brucei obtained by this method (3557 nucleotides for tb-291 and 872 ...19948132566
natural babesia infection sought in black and norway rats trapped in five egyptian governorates.babesiosis is a protozoal disease caused by members of the genus babesia transmitted by the ixodid ticks. it is a parasite of various mammalian hosts as bovine (b. bovis), equine (b. equi), rodent (b. microti), canine (b. canis) and others. human cases of babesiosis have been reported from several countries including egypt. it is now well established that man may become infected (fulminating or subclinical) with several species of babesia without prior splenectomy. in this paper, a total of 398 ...19938376851

[prevalence of protozoa infections in synanthropic rodents in valdivia city, chile].in order to determine the prevalence of infection by blood and intestinal protozoa in 57 synanthropic rodents from valdivia city, a study was carried out in the period march-september 1986. the group of rodents studied was constituted by 31 mus musculus, 19 rattus rattus and 7 oryzomys longicaudattus, being 42 males and 15 females. diagnostic forms of protozoa were found in 70.2% of the investigated animals. the presence of five species of enteroprotozoa and one species of hemoflagelate was dete ...19958762669
homologues of the 24-kda flagellar ca(2+)-binding protein gene of trypanosoma cruzi are present in other members of the trypanosomatidae family.a full-length cdna encoding the 24-kda flagellar ca(2+)-binding protein (fcabp) of the dm28c clone of trypanosoma cruzi was cloned and characterized. comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence with those of the fcabps of other t. cruzi strains revealed greater than 97% sequence conservation. fcabp-like genes are found in trypanosoma conorhini, trypanosoma freitasi, trypanosoma lewisi, herpetomonas megaseliae, leptomonas seymouri, and phytomonas serpens, but not in crithidia deanei, leishmania ...19979225770
increasing of toxoplasma gondii (coccidia, sarcocystidae) infections by trypanosoma lewisi (kinetoplastida, trypanosomatidae) in white rats.to demonstrate that t. lewisi infection increases t. gondii multiplication in white rats, groups of five wistar or sprague dawley rats were inoculated with 10(6) t. lewisi trypomastigotes and four or seven days later infected with toxoplasma tachyzoites. host survival time was monitored, and the presence of t. gondii was confirmed in all dead rats by studying peritoneal exudate smears and lung tissue sections stained with haematoxylin-eosin. the presence of toxoplasma cysts or antibodies was che ...19979458990
effect of trypanosoma lewisi (kinetoplastida: trypanosomatidae) on the infection of white rats with toxoplasma gondii (eucoccidia: sarcocystidae) oocysts.white rats were inoculated with 10(6) trypomastigotes of trypanosoma lewisi, simultaneously or two days before and after inoculation with 10(5) oocysts of t. gondii. a greater number of cysts was found in the brain of the animals having concomitant inoculations, as compared with rats inoculated with either one of the two parasites. an apparent immunosuppressive effect is likely. since both organisms can be found in rats, it is possible that infections with t. lewisi, could make this rodent anoth ...199810751936
schistosoma japonicum in the black rat, rattus rattus mindanensis, from leyte, philippines in relation to oncomelania snail colonies with reference to other endoparasites.this study examined the prevalence of schistosoma japonicum infections in field rats, rattus rattus mindanensis, according to different trapping locations. between october 1995 and january 1996, traps were set in the municipality of palo, leyte, philippines to determine the correlation of rats infected with schistosomiasis to the proximity of the intermediate snail host, oncomelania hupensis quadrasi, colonies. of the 22 rats that were caught within a snail colony, 21 (95.5%) were positive for s ...199910774707

lipopolysaccharide hyperreactivity of animals infected with trypanosoma lewisi or trypanosoma musculi.rats and mice infected with trypanosoma lewisi and trypanosoma musculi, respectively, showed hyperreactivity to lipopolysaccharide (lps) from gram-negative bacteria. fatal shock could be precipitated with a dose of lps 100 to 1,000 times less in infected compared with noninfected animals. in trypanosome-infected rats and mice, extensive liver damage was evident after lps challenge. these animals showed a pronounced hypoglycemia, marked elevation of blood aspartate transaminase level, and diffuse ...19846500700
pcr identification of trypanosoma lewisi, a common parasite of laboratory rats.trypanosoma (herpetosoma) lewisi is a trypanosome of the sub-genus herpetosoma (stercoraria section), parasite of rats (rattus rattus and rattus norvegicus) transmitted by fleas. t. lewisi has a stringent species specificity and cannot grow in other rodents such as mice. rats are infected principally by oral route, through contamination by flea faeces or ingestion of fleas. trypanosoma lewisi infections in rat colonies can interfere with research protocols and fleas of wild rats are often the so ...200212234387
comparative positions of kinetoplasts in trypanosoma musculi and trypanosoma lewisi during development in vitro.the development of trypanosoma musculi and trypanosoma lewisi were studied in vitro in the presence of adherent splenic cells. both parasites developed only when attached by their flagellar tips to adherent splenic cells. during the proliferation of t. musculi, the kinetoplast migrated towards the nucleus, and once in the vicinity of the nucleus, the nuclear division was triggered. the kinetoplast of t. lewisi did not migrate towards the nucleus, but remained at its original location. the nucleu ...200212269904
some field and laboratory studies on rattus rattus subspecies and rattus norvegicus in two egyptian governorates of different ecological characters.both damietta and qualyobia governorates were examined for the seasonal activities of rattus species and subspecies and their natural infection with trypanosoma lewisi. the common domestic rodents identified were rattus r. alexandrinus, r. r. frugivorus and rattus norvegicus. they were common all the year round except in winter for r. norvegicus in damietta. gravid females of the three rodent species, were identified in damietta in summer, in addition to autumn for r. norvegicus only. in qualyob ...200212512813
properties of ablastin--a factor in the serum of rats infected with trypanosoma lewisi which inhibits the parasites' division.the present study investigated the nature of ablastin, a factor present in the serum of rats infected with trypanosoma lewisi and which inhibits the parasites' division. ablastin was unstable to dialysis at ph 1x8, was not adsorbed from serum by trypanosomes and could not be induced in vivo by means other than a natural infection. attempts to purify ablastin from serum by conventional chromatographic techniques were unsuccessful. removal of over 90% of the immunoglobulins from ablastinic serum d ...19826753814

phylogeny, taxonomy and grouping of trypanosoma rangeli isolates from man, triatomines and sylvatic mammals from widespread geographical origin based on ssu and its ribosomal sequences.phylogenetic relationships among trypanosoma rangeli isolates from man, wild mammals and triatomine bugs from widespread geographical origin were inferred by comparison of the small subunit of ribosomal gene sequences. the phylogenetic trees indicated that the subgenus herpetosoma is polyphyletic and strongly supported division of this group into two monophyletic lineages, one made up of t. rangeli, t. rangeli-like and allied species and other consisting of t. lewisi and related taxa. based on p ...200415552400
the depressed response of spleen cells from rats infected by trypanosoma lewisi in producing a secondary response in vitro to sheep erythrocytes and the ability of soluble products of the trypanosome to induce this depression.the non-pathogenic trypanosoma lewisi depresses the ability of infected rat spleen cells to respond immunologically to sheep erythrocytes. a study was made to determine whether the parasite would produce this same phenomenon in vitro in marbrook culture vessels with erythrocyte-primed spleen cells from normal rats; the antibody response of the spleen cells was measured by the plaque-forming cell assay. soluble factors from 1 x 10(7) t. lewisi depress the ability of primed cells to form a seconda ...19817019056
the trypanosoma lewisi immunofluorescence test: a new simple technique for simultaneous determination of total antinuclear antibodies and the detection of antibodies to double-stranded dna.an indirect immunofluorescence technique was developed for the detection of antibodies to dsdna and the simultaneous assessment of antinuclear antibodies 'in toto' (ana). this assay was based upon the use as substrate of smears of peripheral blood derived from rats infected with trypanosoma lewisi. t. lewisi possesses a giant kinetoplast posteriorly to the nucleus. enzyme digestion and absorption experiments provided strong evidence that t. lewisi kinetoplast contains dsdna uncontaminated by oth ...19827035570

molecular cloning of the "minor" component of the kinetoplast dna of trypanosoma lewisi.kinetoplast dna was cloned in the pbr322 plasmid using the bamhi site. in situ hybridization of iodinated recombinant dna showed hybridization grains only in the kinetoplast region. the recombinant dna was analyzed with restriction enzymes and its base ratio was determined by analytical cscl density gradient.19806257401
basis of the specificity of rodent trypanosomes for their natural hosts.the strong natural insusceptibility of mice to infection with the rat-specific trypanosoma lewisi was investigated in a variety of mouse strains. parasite elimination by all strains was similar involving a lag phase of about 7 h of constant parasitemia followed by rapid clearance (half-times of 55 and 130 min in different strains). in vitro cultures were utilized to determine whether mouse cells and serum were inherently deficient in supporting t. lewisi or, alternatively, toxic for the parasite ...19816268542
[trypanosomatidae of public health importance occurring in wild and synanthropic animals of rural venezuela].chagas disease and leishmaniasis are important public health problems due to their high frequency and broad distribution in latin america. understanding of the roles of reservoir animals is crucial for a global assessment of the epidemiology of these diseases.200616929902
rat liver glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase isozymes: influence of infection with trypanosoma.glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) changes were studied in livers of rats inoculated with trypanosoma lewisi, trypanosoma rhodesiense, trypanosoma congolense and trypanosoma brucei. marked increases in g6pd were directly related to the degree of parasitemia. no essential differences in g6pd levels were seen in animals inoculated with physiological saline when compared with uninoculated controls. elevation of g6pd was observed only from day 10 to 20 in rats inoculated with t. lewisi. after ...19836349921
trypanosoma cruzi oleate desaturase: molecular characterization and comparative analysis in other trypanosomatids.trypanosoma cruzi lipids contain a high content of unsaturated fatty acids, primarily oleic acid (c18:1) and linoleic acid (c18:2). previous data suggest that this parasite is able to convert oleic acid into linoleic acid; humans are not able to do this. presently, we show that t. cruzi has a gene with high similarity to the delta12 (omega6)-oleate desaturase from plants. northern blot analysis of the oleate desaturase gene from t. cruzi (od(tc)) indicated that this gene is transcribed in epimas ...200617152952
infection by trypanosomes in marsupials and rodents associated with human dwellings in ecuador.small mammals trapped in domestic and peridomestic environments of rural ecuador were screened for trypanosome infection by direct microscopy and hemoculture. identification of species of trypanosomes was then performed by morphological characteristics and by polymerase chain reaction (pcr) assays. of 194 animals collected, 15 were positive for infection (7.73%). eight (4.12%) were infected with trypanosoma cruzi (1 of 33 didelphis marsupialis; 7 of 61 rattus rattus). eleven r. rattus (18.03%) h ...200617304802
the glycoproteins of the complex surface coat of trypanosoma lewisi.blood stream forms of trypanosoma lewisi from rats previously infected were labelled in vitro by galactose-oxidase oxidation followed by nab3h4 reduction and subjected to 7.5% sds-polyacrylamide gel analysis, by this procedure 8 bands were detected on sds polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. we conclude that surface composition of trypanosoma lewisi resulted more complex than that of trypanosoma so far studied, suggesting a possible relation with induced immunity and reduced ability of the parasi ...19836354473
alpha 2 macroglobulin activity in rats infected with typanosoma lewisi and treated with cyclophosphamide and its effect on the malignancy of the disease.trypanosoma lewisi is a common, flagellated parasite of the rat. our previous study showed that rabbits injected with serum collected from rats infected with trypanosoma lewisi and treated with cyclophosphamide (cyi) produced high levels of antibodies against a new protein in the cyi rat serum.200717722867
isolation of protective antigens from trypanosoma lewisi by using trypanostatic (ablastic) immunoglobulin g from the surface coat.antigens were purified from extracts of trypanosoma lewisi on immunoadsorbent columns of trypanostatic immunoglobulin g eluted from parasite surface coats at 8 days postinfection. eight absorbed proteins, with molecular weights between 15,000 and 70,000, were identified. these surface coat antigens (scags) were then used to immunize rats. after immunization, sera were assayed in vitro for levels of circulating trypanostatic and trypanocidal antibodies. approximately half of the immune sera had h ...19846363294

a note on the pathogenicity of trypanosoma lewisi.1. some strains of trypanosoma lewisi may, at times, produce rapidly fatal infections in a large percentage of the rats infected. 2. in such strains of trypanosoma lewisi, a sufficient degree of pathogenicity may persist to warrant the designation of these strains as pathogenic. 3. the pathogenicity of a given strain of trypanosoma lewisi is not constant, but is subject to marked and even sudden variations.191419867780
activity of d-carnitine and its derivatives on trypanosoma infections in rats and mice.little progress has been made in the treatment of african trypanosomiasis over the past decades. l-carnitine has a major role in glycolysis-based energy supply of blood trypanosomes for it stimulates constant atp production. to investigate whether administration of the isomer d-carnitine could exert a competitive inhibition on the metabolic pathway of the l-form, possibly resulting in parasite replication inhibition, several formulations of this compound were tested on trypanosoma lewisi and t. ...200312847922
