Abstract:Bovine trypanosomiasis, caused by Trypanosoma vivax, currently affects cattle, resulting in significant economic consequences in sub-Saharan Africa and South America. The development of new diagnostic antigens is crucial for improving and refining existing methods. Our study assessed the effectiveness of two recombinant antigens in detecting specific antibodies in cattle. These antigens are derivatives of an invariant surface glycoprotein (ISG) from T. vivax. We evaluated a fraction of an antigen previously de… Show more
