“…Passage of the rat-adapted strain into sheep led to temporary loss of infectivity to rats (36) whereas the 3 strains naturally infective to mice maintained their infectivity to mice after single inoculations into sheep and cattle, although with one strain a few passages were necessary before the infection in mice became similar to those in mice from the original transmission line (103). The strains that were naturally infective to mice retained their ability of cyclical transmission by G. rnorsituns and G. tachynoider (30), while the other rodent-adapted strains lost their transmissibility by Glossina (33,78), except on one occasion when serum supplementation was given to splenectomized rabbits prior to fly challenge (77). Anaemia was present in mice and splenectomized rabbits (77,82,147).…”

Anaemia was present in mice and splenectomized rabbits (77,82,147). Reticulocytes were absent in blood of anaemic mice (147) but this may be due to the short duration of infection (5 days) since anaemia was pronounced only in the last 3 days.…”

Summary The economic importance, incidence, epizootiology, diagnosis and treatment, as well as the clinical and pathological features of the diseases produced in ruminants, horses and rodents by Trypanosoma vivax, are reviewed. T. vivax is considered to be the most important trypanosome species affecting livestock, and is widely distributed in West Africa, East Africa, as well as in other areas where it exists in the absence of its traditional vector, Glossina, e.g. South America and Mauritius. A total of 164 references are cited. Zusammenfassung Krankheiten bei Wiederkäuern, Pferden und Nagern, die durch Trypanosoma vivax hervorgerufen werden Sowohl die wirtschaftliche Bedeutung, Vorkommen, Epizootiologie, Diagnose und Behandlung als auch die klinischen und pathologischen Merkmale der Krankheiten, verursacht durch Trypanosoma vivax bei Wiederkäuern, Pferden und Nagern, werden besprochen. Trypanosoma vivax wird als die wichtigste Spezies angesehen, die den Tierbestand befällt, und sie ist weit verbreitet sowohl in West‐ und Ost‐Afrika als auch in anderen Gebieten, wo sie ohne ihren traditionellen Überträger, Glossina, vorkommt, z. B. in Südamerika und Mauritius. Es werden insgesamt 164 Literaturstellen zitiert. Resumen Las enfermedades producidas por Trypanosoma vivax en rumiantes, caballos y roedores Se describen la importancia económica, incidencia, epizootología, diagnóstico y tratamiento, además los aspectos de las enfermedades ocasionadas por Trypanosoma vivax en rumiantes, caballos y roedores. Trypanosoma vivax se considera como la especie más importante que afecta a la ganadería; su distribución es amplia, tanto por el Africa Occidental y el Oriental como también en otras áreas, donde existe en la ausencia de su vector tradicional, Glossina, por ej. en América del Sur y en Mauricio. Se aportan 164 citas bibliográficas.
