“…As described in this study, the simultaneous infection by T. evansi and L. chagasi was also reported in a dog by Savani et al (2005). The morphometric parameters and the absence of kinetoplast in the flagellated forms observed in this study are similar to patterns observed in T. evansi infected dogs in Brazil (RAMIREZ et al 1997;AQUINO et al, 1999;SANTOS SILVA et al, 2002).…”

“…among other hemoparasites. T. evansi was identified through biometric measurements (RAMIREZ et al, 1997;AQUINO et al, 1999) and absence of kinetoplast (NUNES et al, 1993;SANTOS SILVA et al, 2002). Serum samples were analyzed by indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) for the presence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) against T. gondii and N. caninum.…”

Trypanosoma evansi (Trypanosomatidae, Kinetoplastida) is a salivarian trypanosomatid that infects eight mammal orders spread over America, Europe and Asia. In Brazil, T. evansi is the etiological agent of "Mal de Cadeiras", a horse disease very often described in the region known as Pantanal do Mato Grosso. Few data concerning the genetic diversity and biology of subpopulations of T. evansi that circulate in Brazil are available. The factors that modulate the interaction of this parasite with its hosts also remain to be elucidated. Here we evaluated the course of experimental infection of six T. evansi isolates derived from domestic and wild animals in Swiss-Webster mice and three Mus musculus lineages. The follow-up included biological, immunological as well as biochemical and hematological parameters. The same isolates as well as three others were characterized by pulsed-field electrophoresis. Our results showed that T. evansi isolates displayed significant differences regarding behavior and morbidity patterns in the distinct mouse lineages. Nevertheless, these differences could not be correlated with pulsed-field electrophoresis profiles. Indeed, concerning this molecular marker, only microheterogeneity was observed. Moreover, we observed that the outcome of the infection is defined by both host genetic background and peculiarities (virulence factors) of the distinct T. evansi isolates. Anemia and hypoglycemia were the only features that could be observed in all mouse lineages, independently of the inoculated T. evansi subpopulation. In addition, our data also show that Mus musculus is a suitable model host for the study of the different pathogenetic features of T. evansi infection.

“…Trypanosoma evansi have already been considered a monomorphic trypanosome by some authors [23][24][25], nevertheless, the description of morphometric variations among different strains have been contested this idea [22,[26][27][28].…”
