Trypanosoma evansi and Surra: A review and perspectives on transmission, epidemiology and control, impact, and zoonotic aspects [PDF]

BioMed Research International, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
This paper reviews the transmission modes of Trypanosoma evansi. Its worldwide distribution is attributed to mechanical transmission. While the role of tabanids is clear, we raise questions on the relative role of Haematobia sp.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Trypanosomosis in Dromedary Camels in the Pastoral Areas of the Guji Zone in Ethiopia

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Camel trypanosomosis is a life‐threatening disease with adverse effects on camel health, production, and working efficiency. Despite this, camel trypanosomosis has received much less attention in Ethiopia compared with the disease in cattle and other animals.

Investigation on Prevalence of Canine Trypanosomiasis in the Conservation Areas of Bwindi‐Mgahinga and Queen Elizabeth in Western Uganda

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Nowadays, despite the instauration of several control strategies, animal trypanosomiasis continues to be reported all over Uganda. Few canine African trypanosomiasis (CAT) studies have been carried out, yet dogs are known Trypanosoma reservoirs that share identical home ranges with livestock and serve as parasite link between livestock and humans.

Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Livestock Owners and Livestock Assistants towards African Trypanosomiasis Control in The Gambia

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Background. In Africa, it has been estimated that 50 million cattle and 70 million sheep and goats are at risk of animal African trypanosomiasis, and three million cattle die annually. Methods. This study was conducted in all the regions of The Gambia except Kombo Saint Mary Island (Banjul).

Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors of African Animal Trypanosomiasis in Cattle in Lambwe, Kenya

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Background. African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT) affects livestock productivity in sub‐Saharan Africa. This study aimed to determine cattle AAT’s prevalence and associated risk factors in Lambwe Valley, Kenya. Methods. In a cross‐sectional survey, livestock owners were recruited from four villages of Lambwe in Homa Bay, Kenya.

Diminazene resistance in Trypanosoma congolense is not caused by reduced transport capacity but associated with reduced mitochondrial membrane potential

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 116, Issue 2, Page 564-588, August 2021., 2021
Resistance to diminazene is one of the main problems facing the control of the livestock disease Animal African Trypanosomiasis (AAT, or nagana), caused by the parasite Trypanosoma congolense. We investigated the adaptations of the parasite that allow it to resist the drug and find that changes to the mitochondrion, where the parasite produces its ...

Prevalence of Bovine Trypanosomosis and Its Associated Risk Factor in Hawa Galan District, Kelem Wollega Zone of Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
An analytical cross‐sectional study was performed between November 2015 and April 2016 at Hawa Galan woreda, Kelem Wollega Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia, to estimate the proportion of cattle with trypanosomosis and to evaluate the elements associated with the prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis.

Antiprotozoal Drug Handling and Management Practices in Asella District, Central Oromia, Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Background and Methods. Protozoal infections such as dourine caused by trypanosomes are found to be a threat to the life and productivity of the equine population. Inappropriate drug use is a problem of the whole world; however, the degree of the problem is higher in developing countries like Ethiopia.

The therapeutic use of isometamidium chloride against Cryptobia salmositica in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 1999
Rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss injected intramuscularly with isometamidium chloride (0.01 or 0.1 mg kg-1) at 3 wk post-infection and given a booster 2 wk later had significantly lower parasitaemias than infected controls. Packed cell volume increased after treatment and remained higher than in infected controls. The concentration of isometamidium in

Kinetic modelling of isometamidium chloride (Samorin) uptake byTrypanosoma congolense

Parasitology, 1992
Clones ofTrypanosoma congolensewhich express resistance to the widely used trypanocide isometamidium chloride accumulate less of the drug than clones which are sensitive to drug treatment. A mathematical model has been developed which was able to predict theoretical lines representing the uptake kinetics in trypanosomes which were sensitive to ...
