TLDR
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.

Case Report - A RARE CASE OF HUMAN TRYPANOSOMIASIS CAUSED BY TRYPANOSOMA EVANSI

TL;DR: The patient was not immunocompromised and showed infestation with a parasite which normally does not affect human beings, so the use of suramin - the drug of choice in early stage African trypanosomiasis without any CNS involvement was advocated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combatting African Animal Trypanosomiasis (AAT) in livestock: The potential role of trypanotolerance.

TL;DR: New insights into the genetic basis of trypanotolerance are described and the potential of exploring this phenomenon as an integral part of the solution for AAT is discussed, particularly, in the context of African animal production systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parasitological, serological and molecular survey of Trypanosoma evansi infection in dromedary camels from Cholistan Desert, Pakistan.

TL;DR: This first study on the prevalence of surra in Cholistan Desert, Pakistan using a broad variety of diagnostic tests thereby emphasizing it as a risk for the dromedaries of Pakistan and supports using antibody detection tests, rather than parasitological and molecular examination, to assess surra prevalence in camels.
Journal ArticleDOI

African trypanosome control in the insect vector and mammalian host

TL;DR: Tsetse fly saliva and various trypanosome components including adenylate cyclases, DNA, a kinesin heavy chain, and variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) interfere with resistance and tolerance to infection.

Lipid peroxidation: its mechanism, measurement, and significance.

TL;DR: An increased concentration of end products of lipid peroxidation is the evidence most frequently quoted for the involvement of free radicals in human disease, but it is likely that increased oxidative damage occurs in most, if not all, human diseases and plays a significant pathological role in only some of them.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipid peroxidation and antioxidants as biomarkers of tissue damage.

TL;DR: The body has a hierarchy of defense strategies to deal with oxidative stress within different cellular compartments, and superimposed on these are gene-regulated defenses involving the heat-shock and oxidant stress proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Free radical metabolism in human erythrocytes.

TL;DR: Light is shed on the role of ROS both at physiological and pathological levels and the structural requirements of antioxidants for appreciable radical-scavenging activity and the mechanisms of free radical systems in erythrocytes are understood.
