Nuclear DNA content of "Trypanosoma congolense"

Acta tropica, 1988
We have measured the nuclear DNA content of the major life cycle stages of Trypanosoma congolense, in two clones of geographically distant origin. We find that nuclear DNA content in epimastigote, mammalian blood-stream and metacyclic forms is constant and that the nuclear DNA contents of the two clones were 0.1 pg and 0.09 pg, respectively.

Congenital transmission of Trypanosoma congolense in mice

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 1983
Pregnant mice were infected with a strain of T. congolense which produces a chronic infection, to determine if congenital infection can occur. Some of the mice were killed before delivery and tissues of foetuses injected into clean male mice. Other mothers were allowed to deliver and the tissues of some of the 1-day-old young inoculated into male mice ...

Sequential infection of tsetse flies with Trypanosoma congolense and Trypanosoma brucei

Acta Tropica, 1992
The question whether tsetse flies can be experimentally infected with more than one trypanosome species or strain by sequential feeding was investigated using DNA probe technology to identify directly the small numbers of trypanosomes in the fly gut. Bloodstream form trypanosomes of Trypanosoma congolense or T. brucei ssp.

Trypanosoma congolense: Thrombocyte survival in infected steers

Experimental Parasitology, 1982
Abstract Charolais steers infected with Trypanosoma congolense developed a thrombocytopenia that was first demonstrated shortly before the onset of parasitemia. The thrombocyte count progressively decreased from a level of 6 × 105/mm3 on the 3rd day postinfection to l × 105/mm3, its most depressed level, on the 11th day postinfection. The mean of the

A modified AFLP for Trypanosoma congolense isolate characterisation

Journal of Biotechnology, 2006
The amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique is a reliable and powerful DNA fingerprint tool for genetic characterisation and analysis. In this paper, we described a modified AFLP with high resolution for Trypanosoma congolense using one enzyme and agarose or Elchrom gel electrophoresis.

Trypanosoma congolense: Thrombocytopenia in experimentally infected cattle

Experimental Parasitology, 1978
Abstract Hereford cattle infected with Trypanosoma congolense developed a thrombocytopenia which was most severe early in the course of infection when parasite levels in peripheral blood were highest. As the disease progressed, parasite levels gradually decreased and a corresponding increase in the number of thrombocytes occurred.

Trypanosoma congolense: Infectivity for white mice

Experimental Parasitology, 1968
Abstract White mice of Swiss strain are susceptible to Trypanosoma congolense. Intact, splenectomized, irradiated, or irradiated and splenectomized mice showed no variation in susceptibility to infection. The incubation period varied from 4 to 19 days.

Mitogenicity of autolysates ofTrypanosoma congolense

Experientia, 1978
Autolysates of Trypanosoma congolense, in subcytotoxic amounts, were found to be highly mitogenic in vitro for the spleen cells of normal mice. Significant amounts of [3H]-thymidine were also incorporated by the responding spleen cells of nu/nu (athymic) mice. In contrast, the spleen cells of cyclophosphamide-treated mice were unresponsive.

Genetic resistance to Trypanosoma congolense infections in mice

Infection and Immunity, 1980
The mechanisms of genetic resistance or "trypanotolerance" to infection with Trypanosoma congolense were investigated in two strains of mice. One strain C57BL, is outstandingly resistant to most stabilates of T. congolense and can survive for over 80 days, whereas CFLP, in common with most other strains, generally succumbs in less than 20 days ...
