| [trypanosomiasis caused by trypanosoma evansi (steel 1885), balbiani 1888 in small ruminants in mauritania: results of experimental inoculation and field surveys]. | in order to define the eventual role of small ruminants in the epidemiology of t. evansi infection in southern mauritania, the following experiments were carried out: the intravenous inoculation of a ewe and a goat with a local strain of t. evansi isolated from a dairy camel; surveys of small ruminant flocks which graze with infected camels in the south of the trarza region. the experimental inoculation allowed to show that local sheep and goats are receptive. only the ewe showed a clinical epis ... | 1993 | 8073171 |
| [camel trypanosomiasis caused by trypanosoma evansi (steel 1885), balbiani 1888, in islamic republic of mauritania: results of surveys in the trarza region]. | a first survey concerning camel trypanosomiasis due to trypanosoma evansi was carried out in the trarza region (south-western mauritania). blood smears were made from 218 animals and 160 were submitted to an indirect immunofluorescence test. young calves below one year old seem to be free of t. evansi infection, while in dairy females, average rates of infection of 7.3% (blood smears) and 24.5% (serological results) were found. the type of herd management seems to be an important risk factor: th ... | 1994 | 7991900 |
| some factors affecting the prevalence of trypanosoma evansi in camels in mauritania. | a study was conducted on the epidemiology of camel trypanosomosis in mauritania using 2073 camels of various ages in five regions (trarza, gorgol, adrar, hodh e1 chargui, nouakchott). the prevalence was determined through blood smear and serological tests: card agglutination test for trypanosomiasis (catt) and immuno fluorescence antibody test (ifat). the prevalence of the disease was 1.3% using blood smear examinations, 16.2% with catt and 25.2% with ifat. the following variations were observed ... | 1997 | 9404837 |
