Seasonal Dynamics and Associated Risk Factors of Bovine Trypanosomosis and Its Vector in Selected Districts of Gamo and Gofa Zones, Southern Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science
Background Trypanosomosis is an economically significant livestock production constraint in 37 sub‐Saharan African countries, including Ethiopia. Trypanosomosis requires a high annual budget to reduce Trypanosomosis infection and vector control. Material

The COMBAT project: controlling and progressively minimizing the burden of vector-borne animal trypanosomosis in Africa [version 1; peer review: 3 approved]

Open Research Europe, 2022
Vector-borne diseases affecting livestock have serious impacts in Africa. Trypanosomosis is caused by parasites transmitted by tsetse flies and other blood-sucking Diptera.

NK-, NKT- and CD8-Derived IFNγ Drives Myeloid Cell Activation and Erythrophagocytosis, Resulting in Trypanosomosis-Associated Acute Anemia. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2015
African trypanosomes are the causative agents of Human African Trypanosomosis (HAT/Sleeping Sickness) and Animal African Trypanosomosis (AAT/Nagana). A common hallmark of African trypanosome infections is inflammation. In murine trypanosomosis, the onset

Prevalence of pathogenic trypanosome species in naturally infected cattle of three sleeping sickness foci of the south of Chad.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Although a diversity of trypanosome species have been detected in various animal taxa from human African trypanosomosis (HAT) foci, cattle trypanosomosis has not been addressed in HAT foci of west and central African countries including Chad.

Nanoformulation of a Trypanocidal Drug Isometamidium Chloride Ameliorates the Apurinic-Apyrimidinic DNA Sites/Genotoxic Effects in Horse Blood Cells

Journal of Xenobiotics, 2023
Isometamidium chloride (ISM) is a trypanocide for the prophylactic and therapeutic use against vector-borne animal trypanosomosis (mainly Surra caused by Trypanosoma evansi) and African animal trypanosomosis caused by T. congolense/T. vivax/T.

A Spatio-temporal Model of African Animal Trypanosomosis Risk. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
BACKGROUND:African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) is a major constraint to sustainable development of cattle farming in sub-Saharan Africa. The habitat of the tsetse fly vector is increasingly fragmented owing to demographic pressure and shifts in climate ...
