virulence of trypanosoma congolense strains isolated from cattle and african buffaloes (syncerus caffer) in kwazulu-natal, south africa.trypanosoma congolense and trypanosoma vivax are major species that infect cattle in north-eastern kwazulu-natal (kzn), south africa. of the two genetically distinct types of t. congolense, savannah and kilifi sub-groups, isolated from cattle and tsetse flies in kzn, the former is more prevalent and thought to be responsible for african animal trypanosomosis outbreaks in cattle. furthermore, variation in pathogenicity within the savannah sub-group is ascribed to strain differences and seems to b ...201425685920

a comparison of african buffalo, n'dama and boran cattle as reservoirs of trypanosoma vivax for different glossina species.teneral glossina morsitans centralis were fed on the flanks of african buffalo, n'dama or boran cattle infected with trypanosoma vivax il 2337. the infected tsetse were maintained on goats and on day 25 after the infected feed, the surviving tsetse were dissected to determine the infection rates. the mean mature infection rates (% +/- s.e.) in the tsetse fed on buffalo, n'dama and boran cattle were 34.3 +/- 9.9, 33.7 +/- 13.4 and 58.9 +/- 7.1, respectively. logistic regression analysis indicated ...19938098147
occurrence of theileria parva and other haemoprotozoa in cattle at the edge of hluhluwe-imfolozi park, kwazulu-natal, south africa.theileria parva, the most important bovine theilerial species in sub-saharan africa, causes widespread mortality and morbidity in endemic areas. a survey was conducted using buffy-coat specimens from 60 apparently healthy adult communally herded nguni-type cattle at the northeastern edge of the hluhluwe-imfolozi park to determine, by means of pcr and reverse line blot (rlb) hybridisation, the occurrence of theileria and babesia species. the presence of trypanosoma species was determined using pc ...201020649154
characterisation of the wildlife reservoir community for human and animal trypanosomiasis in the luangwa valley, zambia.animal and human trypanosomiasis are constraints to both animal and human health in sub-saharan africa, but there is little recent evidence as to how these parasites circulate in wild hosts in natural ecosystems. the luangwa valley in zambia supports high densities of tsetse flies (glossina species) and is recognised as an historical sleeping sickness focus. the objective of this study was to characterise the nature of the reservoir community for trypanosomiasis in the absence of influence from ...201121713019
