Investigations on naturally occurring Trypanosoma evansi infections in horses, cattle, dogs and capybaras (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris) in Pantanal de Poconé (Mato Grosso, Brazil)

Resposta eritropoética de ratos em diferentes graus de parasitemia por Trypanosoma evansi

“…evansi afeta muitas espécies de animais domésticos e selvagens (FRANKE et al, 1994). Sua transmissão é essencialmente mecânica.…”

Ocurrence of co-infection by Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi and Trypanosoma (Trypanozoon) evansi in a dog in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

“…Besides horses (Franke et al 1994, Queiroz et al 2000) and dogs (Stevens et al 1989, Franke et al 1994 Davila et al 2003), infection by T. (T.) evansi has been found in bovines, buffaloes, sheep (Davila et al 2003), capybaras (Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris) (Stevens et al 1989, Franke et al 1994, and coatis (Nasua nasua) (Nunes & Oshiro 1990, Queiroz et al 2000.…”

Clinical, Parasitological and Immunological Aspects of Experimental Infection with Trypanosoma evansi in Dogs

“…It is proposed that T. evansi outbreaks in pantanal matogrossense are governed by factors such as abundance of vector population and also the presence of wildlife reservoirs and domestic carriers, including dogs (Silva et al 1995a). A study conducted in the Pantanal of Poconé (State of Mato Grosso, Brazil) detected the prevalence of the parasite in 8.6% of the examined dogs; due to close contact with horses, the dogs can be assumed as relevant reservoirs hosts in the region (Franke et al 1994). …”
