| isolation of trypanosoma spp. from wild tsetse flies through procyclic expansion in glossina morsitans centralis. | procyclic trypanosomes from wild tsetse flies were membrane-fed to glossina morsitans centralis in order to develop an optimal technique for propagating field isolates. a 70% success rate was achieved in isolating trypanosoma simiae and a variety of genotypes of t. congolense originating from g. pallidipes, g. brevipalpis and g. swynnertoni. parasites matured into forms infective for mammals, and could be maintained by passage of gut forms to new groups of flies. in experiments with laboratory s ... | 1994 | 8203293 |
| trypanosoma simiae in the white rhinoceros (ceratotherium simum) and the dromedary camel (camelus dromedarius). | trypanosoma simiae was identified as the cause of a disease outbreak in dromedary camels (camelus dromedarius) introduced to tsavo east national park, confirming the susceptibility of camels to this pathogen. t. simiae was also isolated from a new host, the white rhinoceros (ceratotherium simum) through xenodiagnosis with a susceptible tsetse species (glossina morsitans centralis). a white rhinoceros showed some evidence of anaemia and lymphopaenia when harbouring t. simiae, but did not suffer a ... | 1994 | 7975114 |
| comparative study on the susceptibility of different laboratory strains of glossina species to trypanosoma simiae. | teneral tsetse of four glossina species from laboratory-reared colonies were fed on four large white pigs infected with three different stocks of trypanosoma simiae isolated in coast province, kenya. thereafter the tsetse were maintained on goats and dissected on day 28 to determine the trypanosome infection rates. glossina brevipalpis was as susceptible as g.pallidipes whilst g.palpalis gambiensis was not susceptible to t.simiae cp 11 a stock causing acute infection, which was isolated from a w ... | 1994 | 7949313 |
