Development of chimeric multivalent proteins for serological diagnosis of African animal trypanosomosis [PDF]

Parasitology
The control of African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) relies on accurate diagnostic tools. Serological diagnosis using ELISA is well-suited for surveillance due to its high-throughput capacity, low cost, and adaptability to rapid formats.

Therapeutic Efficacy of Orally Administered Nitrofurantoin against Animal African Trypanosomosis Caused by Trypanosoma congolense Infection

Pathogens, 2022
Animal African trypanosomosis (AAT) leads to emaciation and low productivity in infected animals. Only six drugs are commercially available against AAT; they have severe side effects and face parasite resistance.

A study on African animal trypanosomosis in four areas of Senegal [PDF]

Folia Parasitologica, 2015
In Senegal, several areas provide great potential for agriculture and animal production, but African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) is one of the major constraints to the development of more effective livestock production systems. A study was conducted to assess the current situation of AAT in this country.

The Pathogenesis of Anaemia in African Animal Trypanosomosis [PDF]

, 2012
The pathogenesis and pathology of animal trypanosomosis has been a subject of numerous investigations and anaemia has long been recognized as a significant pathological feature. It is the consensus that this anaemia is haemolytic in origin, occurring intravascularly in the acute phase and also extravascularly in the subacute and chronic stages of the ...

A comparison of phenotypic traits related to trypanotolerance in five west african cattle breeds highlights the value of shorthorn taurine breeds. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Animal African Trypanosomosis particularly affects cattle and dramatically impairs livestock development in sub-Saharan Africa. African Zebu (AFZ) or European taurine breeds usually die of the disease in the absence of treatment, whereas West African ...
