Molecular genotyping reveals mixed bovine and human trypanosomiasis in cattle from West Africa [PDF]

Veterinary World, 2023
Background and Aim: Animal trypanosomiasis is a major contributor to agricultural and economic losses, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. We have shown that some animal species expressed genes that are significant players in immune response to bovine ...

Participatory epidemiology of endemic diseases in West African cattle – Ethnoveterinary and bioveterinary knowledge in Fulani disease control [PDF]

One Health, 2018
Fulani pastoralists in Nigeria lack adequate access to good quality veterinary services and often resort to treating their animals themselves. There are several negative aspects to this, including poor treatment outcomes, misuse of veterinary drugs and ...

Clinicopathological Changes Associated with Bovine Babesiosis and Trypanosomiasis in Cattle [PDF]

Basrah Journal of Veterinary Research
Clinicopathological changes associated with blood protozoa in cows have been well-examined. However, these changes can be influenced over time due to the development of the animal immune system status and environmental changes. The current study aimed to

Molecular and serological survey of Trypanosoma vivax in Crioulo Lageano Cattle from southern Brazil [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
Bovine trypanosomiasis, caused by infection with the protozoan Trypanosoma vivax, is harmful to livestock worldwide. Knowing its epidemiology is relevant to evaluate the susceptibility, resistance, and tolerance of animals.

Understanding bovine trypanosomiasis and trypanotolerance: the promise of functional genomics

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 2005
African bovine trypanosomiasis, caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma congolense, is endemic throughout sub-Saharan Africa and is a major constraint on livestock production. A promising approach to disease control is to understand and exploit naturally evolved trypanotolerance.

Trypanosoma brucei cattle infections contain cryptic transmission-adapted bloodstream forms at low parasitaemia [PDF]

Nature Communications
Tsetse-transmitted Trypanosoma parasites infect a wide host range and cause Human African Trypanosomiasis and Animal African Trypanosomosis. The dominant hosts of Trypanosoma brucei sensu lato are non-human mammals, including agriculturally important ...
