Pathogenesis of Trypanosoma evansi infection in dogs and horses: hematological and clinical aspects

Abstract: Trypanosoma evansi caused severe anemia in horses and pronounced leukopenia in dogs, both naturally infected. The horses presented microcytic normochromic anemia and the dogs showed microcytic hypochromic anemia. The clinical signs observed were fever, anemia, edema of the legs and lower parts, weakness and inappetence. Light microscopic studies demonstrated that Trypanosoma evansi produced several alterations in erythrocytes of dogs and horses. These pathologic changes included vacuolation, acanthocytes, dacr… Show more

“…All clinical signs observed in infected dogs are similar to those already reported in naturally infected dogs (Hellebrekers & Slappendell 1982, Moreira & Machado 1985, Ravi & Saprei 1994, Silva et al 1995b. Other frequently reported clinical signs such as keratitis, hemorrhageae in the anterior eye chamber and motorial disturbance (May 1968, Hellebrekers & Slappendel 1982 could not be observed in our experimental animals.…”

“…Além disso, animais parasitados também podem apresentar febre intermitente, conjuntivite, edema das pernas e porções inferiores e aumento dos linfonodos superficiais (LEVINE, 1973 Um cão sem raça definida, macho, de 3 anos de idade, residente no município de Santa Maria e esporadicamente levado para propriedades rurais deste município, foi recebido no HCV da UFSM apresentando perda de peso há um ano, aproximadamente, fraqueza progressiva, inapetência e anemia. Sinais clínicos semelhantes foram descritos em eqüinos (SILVA et al, 1995) e em cães (AQUINO et al, 1999) infectados por T. evansi.…”

“…Provavelmente a anemia apresentada pelo animal do presente relato representa uma resposta à doença infecciosa crônica. SILVA et al (1995) propõem algumas causas de anemia na Tripanossomíase Africana como: hemólise extra e intravascular pelo sistema imune, efeito traumático direto do tripanossoma ou eritropoiese diminuída.…”

“…In Brazil, T. evansi is enzootic in horses from the midwestern part of the country, specifically the Pantanal region, 7,8,10,15,[41][42][43] where the disease has great economic importance because of the large equine population. 1, 41 Outbreaks of T. evansi infection with the death of at least 100 horses were reported for the first time in southern Brazil in 2005.…”
