Aberrant use and poor quality of trypanocides: a risk for drug resistance in south western Ethiopia
Background Trypanocidal drugs have been used to control African animal trypanosomosis for several decades. In Ethiopia, these drugs are available from both authorized (legal) and unauthorized (illegal) sources but documentation on utilization practices ...

In Vitro Uptake of Isometamidium and Diminazene by Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
The cattle trypanocide, isometamidium, was readily taken up by inactivated Trypanosoma brucei , while its uptake by living parasites was reduced or inhibited by plasma. In both respects isometamidium differs from diminazene.

Reduced accumulation of isometamidium by drug-resistant Trypanosoma congolense
The accumulation of the trypanocide isometamidium chloride (Samorin®, RMB Animal Health Ltd, UK) by a range of clones of Trypanosoma congolense with varying sensitivity to the drug, was measured by methods based on the fluorescence of isometamidium. Fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry showed a reduction in drug accumulation by resistant clones ...

African trypanosomiasis is a disease caused by the parasitic protozoa of the Trypanosoma genus. Despite several efforts at chemotherapeutic interventions, the disease poses serious health and economic concerns to humans and livestock of many sub‐Saharan African countries.

Generation of Monoclonal Antibodies to the Anti-Trypanosomal Drug Isometamidium
Mice were immunized with either an isometamidium-human serum albumin (HSA) conjugate or an isometamidium-porcine thyroglobulin conjugate (PTG). Thereafter, monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) IL-A 1001, IL-A 1002, IL-A 1003, 5F7.B7, and 5F7.C9 were generated and selected on the basis that they recognized conjugated and unconjugated isometamidium, but lacked ...
