| suppression of antibody response to leptospira biflexa and brucella abortus and recovery from immunosuppression after berenil treatment. | zebu cattle infected with either trypanosoma congolense eatro 1800 or trypanosoma vivax eatro 1721 had suppressed humoral immune responses to leptospira biflexa injected intravenously and to attenuated brucella abortus injected subcutaneously. t. congolense infections were more suppressive than t. vivax infections. in cattle infected with t. vivax, the suppression of immune responses to both bacterial immunogens was abrogated when the animals were treated with berenil at the time of antigen admi ... | 1979 | 118933 |
| effect of chemotherapy on elevated ejaculation time and deteriorated semen characteristics consequent to bovine trypanosomiasis. | the effect of the trypanocidal drug novidium on elevated ejaculation time and deteriorated semen characteristics was studied in zebu cattle infected with t. vivax and t. congolense. two groups, comprising six bulls per group, were infected with trypanosoma vivax or trypanosoma congolense while three bulls served as controls. chemotherapy was carried out 12 weeks post-infection on three bulls from each group, leaving three bulls untreated while three bulls served as uninfected controls. blood sam ... | 1990 | 2397378 |
| self-cure in zebu calves experimentally infected with trypanosoma vivax. | the course of an experimental infection of zebu calves (6-12 months old) with trypanosoma vivax was studied. three of eight (38%) infected calves died, two within the first three weeks of infection and the other at 17 weeks. the remaining animals were self-cured. it would appear that self-cure of the infection was related to the ability of the calves to control parasitaemia as well as the severity of anaemia. | 1986 | 3788020 |
| leukocyte response in experimental trypanosoma vivax infection in cattle. | eight zebu cattle were infected with trypanosoma vivax stock y58, while 8 served as uninfected controls. the infected animals developed early leukopenia due to concomitant lymphopenia and neutropenia. it is suggested that an increase in trypanosomal antigens and neuraminidase in the infected cattle at this time may have an effect on peripheral leukocytes. | 1983 | 6863606 |
| effect of pregnancy on clinical manifestation of bovine trypanosomiasis. | four groups of non-pregnant, first second and third trimester pregnant zebu heifers were used to study and compare the clinical manifestations of trypanosoma vivax infection. all the infected heifers developed clinical trypanosomiasis manifested by massive parasitaemia, fluctuating pyrexia, anaemia, dull hair coat, emaciation, jugular pulse and enlarged superficial lymph nodes. there were group variations in the severity of signs shown. infected non-pregnant heifers and heifers in the third trim ... | 1987 | 3590610 |

| comparative haematological changes following trypanosoma vivax and t. congolense infections in zebu bulls. | a comparative study of haematological changes subsequent to trypanosoma vivax and trypanosoma congolense infections was carried out using 24 zebu bulls during a period of 12 weeks. eight bulls were infected with t. vivax, another eight with t. congolense and eight served as controls. infected bulls developed chronic trypanosomiasis which was characterized by many clinical manifestations including intermittent pyrexia. elevated rectal temperatures of up to 105 and 106 degrees f were recorded, res ... | 1990 | 2343522 |
| [experimental infection of the guyanese zebu with trypanosoma vivax]. | the guyanese strain of trypanosoma vivax is pathogenic for the local brahman zebu; the experimental infection of 19 one-year old cattle was followed by a moderate and transitory fever, a drop in packed cell volume (pcv) and a quick and marked weight loss of 10 to 17 kg one month after as compared to the 16 non-infected animals. other symptoms were associated with the parasitaemia: diarrhoea, swollen haematic glands on the neck and the flank, lachrymation, weakness. despite a trypanocidal treatme ... | 1990 | 1983439 |

| nitric oxide synthesis is depressed in bos indicus cattle infected with trypanosoma congolense and trypanosoma vivax and does not mediate t-cell suppression. | infection with african trypanosomes causes the diseases sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in cattle in sub-saharan africa. suppression of cellular immune responses is a feature of trypanosomiasis in bovine, human, and murine hosts. some aspects of immunosuppression in the murine model are mediated by nitric oxide (no) produced by gamma interferon (ifn-gamma)-activated macrophages. we have investigated whether a similar mechanism is responsible for t-cell unresponsiveness in bovine trypanoso ... | 1996 | 8926077 |
| reduced ovulatory and oestrous activity in zebu heifers following trypanosoma vivax infection. | this paper describes a study on the oestrous and ovarian activity and responses to prostaglandin f2 alpha (pgf2 alpha) administration and artificial insemination in zebu heifers. four cycling heifers were artificially infected with 5 x 10(6) trypanosoma vivax organisms. two heifers served as controls. two injections of pgf2 alpha were given 11 days apart, commencing at the peak of parasitaemia in the infected animals, followed by artificial insemination 72 and 96 h after the second administratio ... | 1999 | 10399817 |

| evaluation of parameters related to libido and semen quality in zebu bulls naturally infected with trypanosoma vivax. | trypanosomiasis is a disease caused by trypanosoma (dutonella) vivax, a hemoprotozoa that can affect bovines. in south america, the sanguineous form is mechanically transmitted from one mammalian host (ruminant) to another by the bite of a blood-sucking insect or by needles contaminated with infected blood. the negative impact of the parasitosis caused by t. vivax infection on the reproductive activity of male and female ruminants is known to reduce fertility. in males, alterations such as degen ... | 2015 | 26467756 |
| comparative clinico-haematological analysis in young zebu cattle experimentally infected with trypanosoma vivax isolates from tsetse infested and non-tsetse infested areas of northwest ethiopia. | ethiopia, particularly in the northwest region, is affected by both tsetse and non-tsetse fly transmitted trypanosomosis, with significant impact on livestock productivity. the aim of this study was to determine and compare clinical findings and haematological values between experimental infections induced by trypanosoma vivax isolates from areas of either transmission mode. sixteen young (aged between 6 and 12 months) zebu cattle (bos indicus), purchased from a trypanosome-free area and confirm ... | 2015 | 25986858 |
| animal trypanosomosis in clinically healthy cattle of north cameroon: epidemiological implications. | the control of animal trypanosomosis consists, amongst other things, of the punctual treatment of new cases, primarily diagnosed by pastoralists on the basis of clinical signs. this practice suggests that many apparently healthy infected animals are left untreated. in this study animal trypanosomosis in clinically healthy zebu cattle was evaluated, the distribution of the vectors established and the epidemiological implications discussed. | 2016 | 27075986 |
| in vivo experimental drug resistance study in trypanosoma vivax isolates from tsetse infested and non-tsetse infested areas of northwest ethiopia. | ethiopia, particularly in the northwest region, is affected by both tsetse fly and non-tsetse fly transmitted trypanosomosis with a significant impact on livestock productivity. the control of trypanosomosis in ethiopia relies on either curative or prophylactic treatment of animals with diminazene aceturate (da) or isometamidium chloride (ism), respectively. however, since these two trypanocides have been on the market for more than 40 years, this may have resulted in drug-resistance. therefore, ... | 2015 | 25792418 |
| determination of the prevalence of trypanosome species in cattle from monduli district, northern tanzania, by loop mediated isothermal amplification. | bovine african trypanosomosis (bat) remains one of the major vector-borne diseases with serious impediment to cattle production and economic advancement in sub-saharan africa. the present study evaluated the performance of the trypanosome-species-specific loop-mediated isothermal amplification (lamp), using parasite dna obtained from 295 indigenous tanzanian short horn zebu (tshz) and boran crosses in monduli district within northern tanzania, against routine microscopy on giemsa-stained blood f ... | 2015 | 25953023 |
