Trypanosoma evansi infection in Tunisia: current situation. [PDF]

Parasite
Surra is a vector-borne disease, caused by a flagellate protozoan, Trypanosoma evansi, infecting all domestic mammals, including herbivores and dogs, and, very rarely, humans. In Tunisia, it affects mainly dromedaries (Camelus dromedarius) in the southern part of the country, causing heavy economic losses due to high morbidity, abortions and mortality.

A Clinical and Epidemiological Investigation of the First Reported Human Infection With the Zoonotic Parasite Trypanosoma evansi in Southeast Asia [PDF]

, 2016
Background. Trypanosoma is a genus of unicellular parasitic flagellate protozoa. Trypanosoma brucei species and Trypanosoma cruzi are the major agents of human trypanosomiasis; other Trypanosoma species can cause human disease, but are rare.

Trypanosoma evansi: Recent outbreaks in Europe [PDF]

Veterinary Parasitology, 2010
Here, two recent outbreaks of Trypanosoma evansi infection in mainland France and Spain associated with the importation of dromedary camels from the Canary Islands, are reported. The disease is well-known on the Archipelago since 1997 and many efforts have been made towards control and eventual eradication, but some areas still remain affected.

Infections with extracellular trypanosomes require control by efficient innate immune mechanisms and can result in the destruction of the mammalian humoral immune system [PDF]

, 2020
Salivarian trypanosomes are extracellular parasites that affect humans, livestock, and game animals around the world. Through co-evolution with the mammalian immune system, trypanosomes have developed defense mechanisms that allow them to thrive in blood,

Epidemiological situation of bovine tropical theileriosis in an arid region in central Tunisia with a phylogenetic analysis of Theileria annulata

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 2862-2870, November 2023., 2023
Theileria annulata is reported for the first time in two arid regions in central Tunisia. Infection prevalence of cattle by T. annulata was high: Kasserine (33.8%) and Sidi Bouzid (31.4%). Phylogenetic analyses of amplicons showed 100% similarity and one unique conserved sequence. Abstract Background Tropical theileriosis, Theileria annulata infection,
