Abstract: Five adult donkeys were experimentally infected with Brazilian strain of Trypanosoma evansi originally isolated from a naturally infected dog to study the hematological biochemical and histopathological alterations during the evolution of the disease. The course of the experimental infection was followed up to 145 days. Hematological analyses of the infected donkeys revealed a marked decline in hemoglobin, packed-cell volume, and erythrocyte count. Anemia was observed after successive peaks of parasitemia.

“…This finding agrees with earlier report by Cadioli et al that donkeys may not show gross lesions in the acute stage of T. evansi infection [42]. The reduction in severity of lungs lesion to the mild form in later stage, as well as the emergence of moderate forms of hydrothorax, hydroperitoneum and adherence of renal capsule to the renal cortex suggests reduction in parasitaemia level but the increased number of gross lesions in the chronic stage points to the fact that the disease in donkeys, predominantly runs a chronic course [21,42].…”

“…Increase in WBC counted in the QS with FCA group portrays the role of FCA in preventing cytodestruction of T lymphocytes and natural killer lymphocytes [14,19,24] thereby suggestive of the ability of FCA to enhance immune response via activation of immune cells to combat the effect of the trypanosome organism. Changes observed in ALT, AST, ALP and GGT were within normal range in all groups [25], which agrees with the reports of Chaudhary and Iqbal [26] and Guiterrierez et al [27], who argued that, organs (liver and kidney) may not have been seriously affected to cause the expected damage that results in leakage of these enzymes into the plasma.…”
