The effect of tick-borne fever (TBF) and trypanosomiasis (TBR) on the plasma disposition of sulfadimidine (SDD) in goats was studied after iv administration of 20 and 200 mg/kg of body weight. In each group of six goats, the plasma disappearance curves showed four animals with rapid and two with
A young Angolian boy who had emigrated to France at the age of 2, presented with a long history of fever. Gambian Trypanosomiasis was diagnosed with peculiar aspects: 1) evolution of adult sickness with a long hemolymphatic period (first stage) and a subacute worsening period with neurologic deficit
We report the case of a 64-year-old woman found to have urban-acquired Trypanosoma brucei (T.b.) gambiense human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) as the cause of sustained fever starting 9 months after returning to Canada from Democratic Republic of the Congo, in the context of
Two experiments were carried out in which uninfected cattle, or cattle chronically infected with Trypanosoma congolense, were immunized by the infection and treatment method against East Coast fever (ECF; Theileria parva infection). Chronic trypanosomiasis did not prevent cattle mounting an
Blood smear analysis is especially useful for diagnosing five infectious diseases: babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, relapsing fever due to Borrelia infection, malaria, and American trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease). It should be performed in patients with persistent or recurring fever or in those who have
BACKGROUND
Sleeping sickness (human African trypanosomiasis) is a parasitic infection transmitted by day-biting tsetse flies. The diagnostic standard is microscopy of blood, lymph node aspirates, or cerebrospinal fluid. The disease is invariably fatal if not treated. There are >300,000 new cases of
BACKGROUND
Human African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) is a parasitic infection transmitted by day-biting tsetse flies. The diagnostic gold standard is microscopy of blood, lymph node aspirates or CSF. The disease is invariably fatal, if not treated. There are over 300 000 new cases of
BACKGROUND
There are three subspecies of Trypanosoma brucei: T. b. gambiense, T. b. rhodesiense and T. b. brucei. The first two are infectious to humans, whilst T. b. brucei is not. Identifying an animal model of T. b. brucei that mimics human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) would enable researchers
Globally, working equines have a continued and growing socioeconomic role in supporting the livelihoods of between 300-600 million people in low income countries which is rarely recognised at a national or international level. Infectious diseases have significant impact on welfare and Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) is a neglected disease caused by the protozoan parasites Trypanosoma brucei and transmitted by tsetse flies that progresses in two phases. Symptoms in the first phase include fever, headaches, pruritus, lymphadenopathy, and in certain cases, hepato- and
BACKGROUND
Despite efforts to control human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) in the field, this infection remains prevalent in endemic or epidemic form in most of its traditional habitats. In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), HAT has extended beyond rural areas to reach large cities such as
A swine fever epizootic decimated the pig herds in villages within the Yamba focus of human trypanosomiasis. Ecological studies of Glossina palpalis palpalis populations were carried out in one of the villages for four years following the disappearance of the pigs, which had been the principal
During a period of six years (1/1/89-12/31/94), seven children with trypanosomiasis were admitted to the Department of Pediatrics of Owendo Pediatric Hospital-Libreville, Gabon. They were 5 boys and 2 girls, aged 4-17 years, five of them under 15 years. The main reasons of hospitalization were
This report describes a case of West African trypanosomiasis involving a Caucasian Frenchman living in Conackry, Guinea. The patient presented with fever and two skin chancres highly suggestive of very early lymphatic stage trypanosomiasis. Examination of peripheral blood smears confirmed diagnosis
