Evaluation of enzyme immunoassays in the diagnosis of camel (Camelus dromedarius) trypanosomiasis:a preliminary investigation [PDF]

, 1989
Three enzyme immunoassays were used for the serodiagnosis of Trypanosoma evansi in camels in the Sudan in order to evaluate their ability to discriminate between infected and non-infected animals.

Characterization of Trypanosoma evansi type B

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2006
A distinctive feature of Trypanosoma evansi is the possession of a kinetoplast that contains homogeneous DNA minicircles, but lacks DNA maxicircles. Two major sequence variants of the minicircle have been described and here we have sequenced the type B variant and designed a specific PCR test to distinguish it from type A.

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

, 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.

NÍVEIS DE IMUNOGLOBULINAS EM RATOS INFECTADOS POR Trypanosoma evansi

Ciência Animal Brasileira, 2010
Objetivou-se avaliar os níveis de imunoglobulinas presentes em ratos infectados experimentalmente por Trypanosoma evansi. Para isso, inocularam-se vinte animais com 106 tripomastigotas de T. evansi e dez ratos usados como controle.

Stomoxys calcitrans as possible vector of Trypanosoma evansi among camels in an affected area of the Canary Islands, Spain

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2014
Introduction Trypanosoma evansi was first identified in the Canary Islands in 1997, and is still present in a small area of the Archipelago. To date, the disease has exclusively affected camel herds, and has not been detected in any other animal hosts ...

Equine trypanosomiasis, a systematic review and meta‐analyses: Prevalence, morbidity and mortality

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Equine trypanosomiasis is a neglected protozoal disease. Objectives To perform a systematic search of literature to explore: (1) In equines what is the global geographical distribution and prevalence of trypanosomiasis? In low and middle‐income countries (LMICs) is trypanosomiasis more prevalent than in higher‐income countries (HICs)

TbTim20 facilitates protein import at a low membrane potential in trypanosomes lacking the mitochondrial genome

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Protein import into mitochondria relies on TIM complexes and the membrane potential. Trypanosoma brucei has a unique TIM complex, and the role of one subunit, TbTim20, has remained unclear. Here, we show that TbTim20 is essential in cells lacking mitochondrial DNA. The importance of TbTim20 increases as the membrane potential decreases.

Molecular diagnosis of acute and chronic infection of Trypanosoma evansi in experimental male and female mice

Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2019
Trypanosoma evansi is enzootic in camels in Egypt, and water buffaloes act as a reservoir for camel infection. Molecular techniques have contributed towards understanding the epidemiology of T. evansi. Trypanosoma evansi was detected in acute and chronic
