Trypanosoma evansi and Surra: A Review and Perspectives on Origin, History, Distribution, Taxonomy, Morphology, Hosts, and Pathogenic Effects

TL;DR: Surra is a major disease in camels, equines, and dogs, in which it can often be fatal in the absence of treatment, and exhibits nonspecific clinical signs, which are variable from one host and one place to another; however, its immunosuppressive effects interfering with intercurrent diseases or vaccination campaigns might be its most significant and questionable aspect.

Pathogenic mechanisms of Trypanosoma evansi infections.

TL;DR: Several attempts have being made to unravel the clinical pathogenic mechanisms in T. evansi infections, yielding various reports which have implicated hemolysis associated to decrease in life span of erythrocytes and extensive erythrophagocytosis being among those that enjoy prominence.

Genetic relatedness among Trypanosoma evansi stocks by random amplification of polymorphic DNA and evaluation of a synapomorphic DNA fragment for species-specific diagnosis.

TL;DR: The results showed that this assay may be useful as a diagnostic tool for field-epidemiological studies of T. evansi and disclosed a pattern consisting of a unique synapomorphic DNA fragment (termed Te664) for the T.evansi cluster that was not detected in any other trypanosome species investigated.
