studies on the generation of biologically active substances by trypanosoma theileri in vitro. | trypanosoma theileri was grown in bovine primary spleen cell cultures. these organisms were tested for phospholipase activity which was found to be very low, for haemolytic activity which was very weak and for lymphocyte mitogenicity which was found to be absent. high concentrations of t theileri were found to activate bovine complement probably by both the alternate and classical pathways. there was no evidence that these organisms exerted any significant toxic effect in vitro or in vivo. this ... | 1980 | 7414063 |
trypanosoma theileri in direct tissue cultures prepared from naturally infected cattle. | trypanosoma theileri was identified in 44 of 125 (35.2%) buffy coat cultures prepared from peripheral blood samples collected from 11 holstein heifers. nine of these animals had received steroid treatment, but trypanosomes were also recovered from two untreated controls. when direct tissue cultures were prepared from tissues collected from eight of these naturally infected heifers, t. theileri appeared in cultures from seven of them. this suggests that t. theileri can survive the procedures empl ... | 1980 | 7391865 |
hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum (koch, 1844) as a possible vector for transmission of trypanosoma theileri, laveran, 1902 in cattle. | amastigotes, sphaeromastigotes, epimastigotes and trypomastigotes of trypanosoma theileri, laveran, 1902 have been observed in the nymphs and adults of hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum (koch, 1844). there ticks were obtained from engorged larvae and nymphs collected from a cross-bred bull with detectable parasitaemia. infection with t. theileri was established in two 6-8-month old cross-bred calves by subcutaneous inoculation of trypanosomatid flagellates collected from ticks and by feeding of the ... | 1981 | 7201190 |
trypanosoma theileri: antibody-dependent killing by purified populations of bovine leucocytes. | bovine leucocytes were assayed for their cytotoxic activity against trypanosoma theileri, a large haemoflagellate parasite of cattle. cytotoxicity was assessed by 3h-uridine release from pre-labelled parasites and also by light microscopy. cytotoxicity proved to be totally dependent upon the presence of specific antibody. serum and the immunoglobulin fraction of colostrum from normal adult cattle and serum from normal colostrum fed calves mediated cytotoxicity; serum from spf colostrum deprived ... | 1982 | 7105486 |
hemoparasitism, humoral immunodeficiency, and an igg1 fragment in a cow. | an adult cow with nonregenerative anemia was found to be infected with eperythrozoon wenyoni and trypanosoma theileri. further laboratory testing revealed hypoalbuminemia, hypogammaglobulinemia, decreased numbers of circulating b lymphocytes, and presence of a serum immunoglobulin g1 fragment. reduced b-lymphocyte regions in lymphoid tissue, evidence of chronic nephritis, and infection with fasciola hepatica and sarcocystis spp were found at necropsy. the cause of the acquired humoral immunodefi ... | 1982 | 7130011 |
an ultrastructural study of the interaction in vitro between trypanosoma theileri and bovine leucocytes. | bovine neutrophils, eosinophils and macrophages obtained from the mammary gland were cytotoxic to trypanosoma theileri epimastigotes in vitro in the presence of specific antibody. a detailed ultrastructural study revealed that all types of effector cell phagocytosed t. theileri despite the relatively large size of this parasite (10-130 microns). phagocytosis proceeded in the classical manner by envelopment of the trypanosome by long pseudopodia. with eosinophils and macrophages structural damage ... | 1982 | 7166572 |

trypanosoma theileri associated with t-lymphocytes isolated from a latently infected cow. | trypanosoma theileri infection, latent in a mature hereford cow, could not be demonstrated in routine blood smears or cultures. throughout the 2-year period an intravenous injection of dexamethasone consistently produced parasitaemia which was detectable in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (pbmc) cultures. fractionation techniques such as plastic adherence and sephadex-g10 fractionation, designed to deplete monocytes and enrich t-lymphocytes, increased trypanosome-positive cultures from 25 to 1 ... | 1989 | 2788733 |
indirect immunofluorescence (ifa) on kinetoplasts of trypanosoma theileri for serological diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (les) in the dog. | an indirect immunofluorescence technique was developed to detect antibodies to ds-dna in a dog affected by systemic lupus erythematosus (les). the assay was based upon the use of the antigen substrate trypanosoma theileri, isolated from samples of bovine blood and maintained in culture tubes. slides were prepared by the drop method and maintained at -20 degrees c until used. this t. theileri immunofluorescence test, evaluated with positive and discriminant results in a previous study on human se ... | 1989 | 2486998 |
the development of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for trypanosoma vivax and its use in a seroepidemiological survey of the eastern caribbean basin. | an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) for igg antibodies against a south american (new world) strain of trypanosoma vivax was developed and used for mass screening of cattle from 20 islands in the eastern caribbean basin. the sensitivity and specificity of antigens prepared from a bovine-derived field strain and a murine-adapted laboratory strain of t. vivax, both of new world origin, were compared using an indirect fluorescent antibody (ifa) test, and an antigen prepared from the murine- ... | 1990 | 2312226 |
zymogram and life-history studies on trypanosomes of the subgenus megatrypanum. | of 13 swedish dairy cows examined, 12 (92.3%) were found to be infected with trypanosomes by cultivation of blood samples. of the two species of tabanid fly caught close to the cattle, 33.3% of the tabanus bromius and 8.6% of the haematopota pluvialis were also found to be infected with trypanosomes on dissection. isoenzyme patterns of trypanosome isolates from one h. pluvialis and from six cattle were identical, incriminating this fly species as a vector of the trypanosome. comparison of these ... | 1990 | 2123546 |
prevalence of trypanosoma theileri in louisiana cattle. | cattle (from 5 sites in louisiana) were examined by blood culture for the presence of trypanosoma theileri. a prevalence of 81% was found in the 291 cattle examined. a greater number of beef cattle (93%) than dairy cattle (73%) was infected. differences in prevalence in cattle from different regions of the state were not noted. | 1990 | 2213419 |
immunohistochemical demonstration of trypanosoma evansi in tissues of experimentally infected rats and a naturally infected water buffalo (bubalus bubalis). | trypanosoma evansi was demonstrated by an immunohistochemical technique in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues of experimentally infected rats. trypanosoma evansi was visible readily, nuclei were stained darkly, the cytoplasm was stained moderately, and the cell membranes were delineated clearly. the parasites were present in small- to large-sized blood vessels of all organs, in extravascular spaces of ventricles and neuropil of the brain, and in interstitial tissues of the lung and testes. ... | 1990 | 2319414 |
clinical disease associated with trypanosoma theileri infection in a calf in ireland. | a four-month-old calf had a clinical history of pyrexia, anaemia, weight loss and behavioural abnormality. clinical examination revealed evidence of regenerative anaemia and a lymphocytosis which was characterised by a relatively large b cell population. the calf deteriorated clinically while under observation and its prescapular and prefemoral lymph nodes became enlarged. examination of a blood smear revealed the presence of a large number of circulating trypanasoma theileri. serological examin ... | 1993 | 8362471 |

pcr-rflp using ssu-rdna amplification: applicability for the diagnosis of mixed infections with different trypanosome species in cattle. | the use of a single restriction fragment length polymorphism (rflp)-pcr assay which is able to characterise all important bovine trypanosome species was evaluated for the detection of mixed infections with trypanosoma brucei brucei, trypanosoma theileri, trypanosoma congolense and trypanosoma vivax. results showed that mixed infections are detectable at a minimum ratio of 2%/98% of standardised dna solutions with a concentration of 10 ng ml(-1). all mixed infections gave clear profiles that coul ... | 2003 | 14630427 |
high infection rates of the tick hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum with trypanosoma theileri. | a crossbred calf (3 months old) obtained from a farm where regular control of ticks was practised and found to be free of blood parasites was inoculated with 20 ml pooled blood collected from four field cattle which had very low trypanosoma theileri parasitaemias (one parasite per 70 microl blood as determined by the haematocrit centrifugation technique). trypanosoma theileri was present in the blood 6 days after injection and a peak parasitaemia of 42 parasites per 70 microl blood was recorded ... | 2004 | 15732451 |
parasitemia in a neonatal bison calf. | a 3-day old female bison calf (bison bison) was presented in lateral recumbency to the université de montréal veterinary teaching hospital. the animal was severely depressed and dehydrated (10%) and died a few hours after admission. prior to death, blood samples were obtained for cbc, clinical chemistry, and serology tests. abnormal cbc findings included thrombocytopenia, lymphocytosis, mild monocytosis, and a toxic left shift. abnormal serum clinical chemistry findings included marked azotemia, ... | 2004 | 15334355 |
a new lineage of trypanosomes from australian vertebrates and terrestrial bloodsucking leeches (haemadipsidae). | little is known about the trypanosomes of indigenous australian vertebrates and their vectors. we surveyed a range of vertebrates and blood-feeding invertebrates for trypanosomes by parasitological and pcr-based methods using primers specific to the small subunit ribosomal rna (ssu rrna) gene of genus trypanosoma. trypanosome isolates were obtained in culture from two common wombats, one swamp wallaby and an australian bird (strepera sp.). by pcr, blood samples from three wombats, one brush-tail ... | 2005 | 15777919 |
trypanosomosis prevalence in cattle on mafia island (tanzania). | during two consecutive surveys (february and august/sept 2002), a total of 970 cattle from the cattle population of mafia island (united republic of tanzania) were blood-sampled. all blood samples were microscopically screened for the presence of trypanosomes and a portion of these were checked for antibodies with an ab-elisa and for the presence of trypanosomal dna with pcr. microscopic evidence of trypanosomes of the congolense group (sub-genus nannomonas) was found in 0.8% of the animals (8/9 ... | 2006 | 16574325 |
energy metabolism of bloodstream form trypanosoma theileri. | bloodstream form trypanosoma theileri degrades glucose to acetate (47%) and succinate (45%) and, therefore, does not solely rely on glycolysis for atp production. this trypanosomatid does not use amino acids for energy metabolism. these results refute the prevailing hypothesis that substrate availability determines the type of energy metabolism of trypanosomatids. | 2007 | 17644652 |
prevalence and molecular phylogenetic characterization of trypanosoma (megatrypanum) minasense in the peripheral blood of small neotropical primates after a quarantine period. | neotropical primates of the cebidae and callitrichidae, in their natural habitats, are frequently infected with a variety of trypanosomes including trypanosoma cruzi, which causes a serious zoonosis, chagas' disease. the state of trypanosome infection after a 30-day quarantine period was assessed in 85 squirrel monkeys (saimiri sciureus) and 15 red-handed tamarins (saguinus midas), that were wild-caught and exported to japan as companion animals or laboratory animals, for biomedical research, re ... | 2008 | 18576832 |
tripanosomatides like trypanosoma theileri in the cattle tick boophilus microplus. | findings of epimastigotes forms of a tripanosomatide is reported in the hemolymph of the cattle tick boophilus microplus in the state of rio grande do sul, southern brazil. morphological evidences suggest they are similar to trypanosoma theileri, a species described as non pathogenic to cattle, and usually transmitted by tabanids. | 2008 | 18823581 |
presence of trypanosoma theileri in spanish cattle. | trypanosoma theileri (laveran, 1902) has been diagnosed in many countries and is commonly considered as a nonpathogenic hemoparasite, although some authors have described clinical signs in cattle infected with t. theileri. in april and may, 2005, 12 blood samples were received at the exopol diagnostic laboratory (zaragoza, spain) from a spanish bull-fighting farm located at seville province. clinical exploration of the animals revealed fever, progressive weight loss, anemia, and frequent recumbe ... | 2008 | 19120247 |
accidental discovery of trypanosoma theileri in the in vitro culture of the heifer lymphocytes. | the diagnostics of the trypanosoma sp. invasion by means of the classic methods i.e. the methods of thin smears or thick drop or even the microhematocrite method, especially when intensity of infection is low, is very difficult. in our climatic zone, trypanosomosis is usually considered as an exotic disease. an opportunistic model of the infection with the parasite and a lack of current data on the prevalence of t. theileri in the cattle in poland cause that it is neglected as a potential reason ... | 2009 | 19886263 |
phylogenetic analysis reveals the presence of the trypanosoma cruzi clade in african terrestrial mammals. | despite the impact of some trypanosome species on human and livestock health, the full diversity of trypanosomes in africa is poorly understood. a recent study examined the prevalence of trypanosomes among a wide variety of wild vertebrates in cameroon using species-specific pcr tests, but six trypanosome isolates remained unidentified. here they have been re-examined using fluorescent fragment length barcoding (fflb) and phylogenetic analysis of glycosomal glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase ... | 2009 | 19027884 |
surprising variety in energy metabolism within trypanosomatidae. | the metabolism of trypanosomatidae differs significantly between distinct species and can even be completely different between various life-cycle stages of the same species. it has been proposed that differences in energy metabolism are related to differences in nutrient supply in the environments of the various trypanosomatids. however, the literature shows that availability of substrates does not dictate the type of energy metabolism of trypanosomatids, as trypanosoma theileri, trypanosoma lew ... | 2009 | 19748317 |
a comparison of six primer sets for detection of trypanosoma evansi by polymerase chain reaction in rodents and thai livestock. | to face the worldwide threat of surra caused by trypanosoma evansi, international organizations have stressed the need to evaluate and standardize diagnostic tools. pcr detection of t. evansi has known a great expansion during the last 20 years, but primer sets are often insufficiently assessed and compared. in this work, we compared the performances of six primer pairs-tbr1/2 (masiga et al., 1992), esag6/7 (holland et al., 2001a, b), tepan1/2 (panyim et al., 1993), pmutec f/r (wuyts et al., 199 ... | 2010 | 20466489 |
high genetic diversity in field isolates of trypanosoma theileri assessed by analysis of cathepsin l-like sequences disclosed multiple and new genotypes infecting cattle in thailand. | in this study, we describe the first survey in thailand of trypanosoma theileri, a widespread and prevalent parasite of cattle that is transmitted by tabanid flies. investigation of 210 bovine blood samples of thai cattle from six farms by hematocrit centrifuge technique (hct) revealed 14 samples with trypanosomes morphologically compatible to t. theileri. additional animals were positive for t. theileri by pcr based on the cathepsin l-like sequence (tthcatl-pcr) despite negative by hct, indicat ... | 2011 | 21477926 |
trypanosoma spp. in swedish game animals. | serum and blood samples from 36 game animals, shot during the hunting seasons 2007-2009, were collected and analyzed for the presence of trypanosoma spp. by three methods: isolation, polymerase chain reaction (pcr), and serology. only fissiped animals were included, four different ruminants and wild boar. trypanosomes could be isolated from two of the animals, and eight had detectable parasite dna. seven animals had high titers of anti-trypanosoma igg antibodies. the two isolated strains, one fr ... | 2011 | 21614542 |
targeting cattle-borne zoonoses and cattle pathogens using a novel trypanosomatid-based delivery system. | trypanosomatid parasites are notorious for the human diseases they cause throughout africa and south america. however, non-pathogenic trypanosomatids are also found worldwide, infecting a wide range of hosts. one example is trypanosoma (megatrypanum) theileri, a ubiquitous protozoan commensal of bovids, which is distributed globally. exploiting knowledge of pathogenic trypanosomatids, we have developed trypanosoma theileri as a novel vehicle to deliver vaccine antigens and other proteins to catt ... | 2011 | 22046137 |
pcr detection and genetic diversity of bovine hemoprotozoan parasites in vietnam. | hemoprotozoan infections often cause serious production losses in livestock. in the present study, we conducted a pcr-based survey of babesia bovis, babesia bigemina, theileria annulata, theileria orientalis, trypanosoma evansi and trypanosoma theileri, using 423 dna samples extracted from blood samples of cattle (n=202), water buffaloes (n=43), sheep (n=51) and goats (n=127) bred in the hue and hanoi provinces of vietnam. with the exception of t. annulata and t. evansi, all other parasite speci ... | 2013 | 23856762 |
molecular characterization of trypanosoma (megatrypanum) spp. infecting cattle (bos taurus), white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus), and elk (cervus elaphus canadensis) in the united states. | in the united states, the generally non-pathogenic trypanosome of cattle is designated trypanosoma (megatrypanum) theileri and is distinguished morphologically from trypanosoma (m.) cervi, a trypanosome originally described in mule deer and elk. phylogenetic studies of the megatrypanum trypanosomes using various molecular markers reveal two lineages, designated tthi and tthii, with several genotypes within each. however, to date there is very limited genetic data for t. theileri, and none for th ... | 2013 | 23683651 |
diagnostic value of the recombinant tandem repeat antigen tegm6-4r for surra in water buffaloes. | trypanosoma evansi infection, or surra, is currently affecting various species of animals, especially water buffaloes. since diagnosis is an important aspect of surra control, development of novel diagnostic antigens is of interest to implement and improve the currently utilized methods. our study evaluated the tandem repeat antigen tegm6-4r in t. evansi antibody detection in water buffaloes. tegm6-4r-based elisa was performed with 20 positive and 8 negative controls and 484 field samples from w ... | 2014 | 24524896 |
trypanosomes of australian mammals: a review. | approximately 306 species of terrestrial and arboreal mammals are known to have inhabited the mainland and coastal islands of australia at the time of european settlement in 1788. the exotic trypanosoma lewisi was the first mammalian trypanosome identified in australia in 1888, while the first native species, trypanosoma pteropi, was taxonomically described in 1913. since these discoveries, about 22% of the indigenous mammalian fauna have been examined during the surveillance of trypanosome biod ... | 2014 | 25161902 |
genetic diversity in trypanosoma theileri from sri lankan cattle and water buffaloes. | trypanosoma theileri is a hemoprotozoan parasite that infects various ruminant species. we investigated the epidemiology of this parasite among cattle and water buffalo populations bred in sri lanka, using a diagnostic pcr assay based on the cathepsin l-like protein (catl) gene. blood dna samples sourced from cattle (n=316) and water buffaloes (n=320) bred in different geographical areas of sri lanka were pcr screened for t. theileri. parasite dna was detected in cattle and water buffaloes alike ... | 2015 | 25554063 |
