Journal ArticleDOI
Trypanosoma evansi control and containment in Australasia
TL;DR: Animal trypanosomosis caused by Trypanosoma evansi is endemic throughout Southeast Asia, where it is an important constraint on the productivity of smallholder livestock and the risk of it spreading from Indonesia is high.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Trypanosoma evansi in camels using PCR and CATT/T. evansi tests in Kenya.
Z.K. Njiru,C.C. Constantine,Joseph Mathu Ndung'u,Ian D. Robertson,S. Okaye,R.C.A. Thompson,Simon Reid +6 more
TL;DR: This study shows that PCR was more sensitive in detecting T. evansi than other tests used in detection of Surra, and that the judgment by camel keepers may be a reliable "pen-side" diagnostic test for Surra.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transmission cycles of Giardia duodenalis in dogs and humans in Temple communities in Bangkok--a critical evaluation of its prevalence using three diagnostic tests in the field in the absence of a gold standard.
Rebecca J. Traub,Tawin Inpankaew,Simon Reid,Chantira Sutthikornchai,Yaowalark Sukthana,Ian D. Robertson,R.C. Andrew Thompson +6 more
TL;DR: Three cycles, anthroponotic, zoonotic and dog-specific cycles of G. duodenalis were shown to be operating among the human and canine populations in these Temple communities in Bangkok, supporting the role of the dog as a potential reservoir for Giardia infections in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunization with recombinant beta-tubulin from Trypanosoma evansi induced protection against T. evansi, T. equiperdum and T. b. brucei infection in mice.
TL;DR: The results of this study demonstrated that the recombinant T. evansi beta‐tubulin is a potential candidate for the development of a vaccine to prevent animal trypanosomiasis caused by these threetrypanosome species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trypanosoma irwini n. sp (Sarcomastigophora: Trypanosomatidae) from the koala ( Phascolarctos cinereus )
TL;DR: Morphological analysis of bloodstream forms and phylogenetic analysis at the 18S rDNA and gGAPDH loci demonstrated this trypanosome species to be genetically distinct and most similar to Trypanosoma bennetti.
