Seasonal Dynamics and Associated Risk Factors of Bovine Trypanosomosis and Its Vector in Selected Districts of Gamo and Gofa Zones, Southern Ethiopia [PDF]
The median PCV of poor body‐conditioned animals is below 20 (anaemic) compared to corresponding body‐condition animals. Black‐ and red‐coloured animals are more significantly affected by trypanosomosis than white‐coloured animals. Multivariable logistic regression revealed more about contributory factors than univariable logistic regression.

Cure of experimental Trypanosoma vivax infection with a single dose of an unmodified antibody-based drug targeting the invariant flagellum cell surface protein IFX [PDF]
Animal African trypanosomiasis (AAT) is an infectious wasting disease of economically important livestock caused by Trypanosoma spp. parasites. The disease is primarily caused by two species: Trypanosoma congolense and Trypanosoma vivax, which are ...

Parasitological, Hematological, and Immunological Response of Experimentally Infected Sheep with Venezuelan Isolates of Trypanosoma evansi, Trypanosoma equiperdum, and Trypanosoma vivax [PDF]
There are three trypanosoma species of veterinary importance in South America: (1) Trypanosoma evansi, the causative agent of derrengadera mechanically transmitted by bloodsucking insects such as tabanids, (2) Trypanosoma vivax, also mechanically ...

Haematology of N’Dama and West African Shorthorn cattle herds under natural Trypanosoma vivax challenge in Ghana [version 2; referees: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations] [PDF]
Background: Animal trypanosomosis is a major cause of economic loss in livestock production in Africa. A suggested control measure is to use breeds with traits of trypanotolerance.

Trypanosome diversity in wildlife species from the Serengeti and Luangwa Valley ecosystems [PDF]
<p>Background: The importance of wildlife as reservoirs of African trypanosomes pathogenic to man and livestock is well recognised. While new species of trypanosomes and their variants have been identified in tsetse populations, our knowledge of ...

Detection of anti-Trypanosoma spp. antibodies in cattle from southern Brazil
Bovine trypanosomosis, caused by Trypanosoma vivax, is a disease that originated in Africa and currently affects cattle in several South American countries, including almost all Brazilian states. Despite the reports on T.

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

Comparative clinico-haematological analysis in young Zebu cattle experimentally infected with Trypanosoma vivax isolates from tsetse infested and non-tsetse infested areas of Northwest Ethiopia [PDF]
Background: Ethiopia, particularly in the Northwest region, is affected by both tsetse and non-tsetse fly transmitted trypanosomosis, with significant impact on livestock productivity. The aim of this study was to determine and compare clinical findings

Trypanosoma (Duttonefla) vivax
Although Trypanosoma vivax was first discovered in 1905 (Ref. 1), the fact that most stocks of this parasite are restricted to ruminant hosts has retarded investigation of this species compared with the experimentally more amenable T. brucei and T. congolense. The veterinary importance of T. vivax (Box 1) and a recent report suggesting that T.
