| characterization of trypanosoma brucei s.l. subspecies by isoenzymes in domestic pigs from the fontem sleeping sickness focus of cameroon. | though it has been established that domestic animals (especially the pig) are potential reservoir hosts for trypanosoma brucei gambiense in west africa, there is little data to this effect concerning central africa. instead, some previous authors report the absence of trypanozoon type trypanosomes in domestic animals in cameroon. thirty-two domestic pigs were sampled by kivi (kit for in vitro isolation) of trypanosomes in the northern region (bechati) of the fontem sleeping sickness focus of cam ... | 2002 | 11835899 |
| domestic animals as potential reservoir hosts of trypanosoma brucei gambiense in sleeping sickness foci in cameroon. | an explanation of the endemic nature and/or the resurgence of human african trypanosomiasis (hat) in the historic foci in west and central africa may be the existence of an animal reservoir. in some hat foci, pigs were found infected by trypanosoma brucei gambiense but the implication of the other domestic animals was not quite evaluated. this study aims to determine the prevalence of t. b. gambiense in domestic animal species (goat, sheep, pig and dog) commonly found in the four active hat foci ... | 2010 | 20387740 |
