Perfil eletroforético das proteínas de fase aguda em caprinos experimentalmente infectados com Trypanosoma evansi

Abstract: Considerado como um dos principais agentes das tripanossomíases, Trypanosoma evansi causa uma doença genericamente conhecida como "surra" e de ampla distribuição geográfica. Esse trabalho teve como objetivo principal estudar o perfil eletroforético das proteínas de fase aguda de caprinos experimentalmente infectados com este hematozoário. Para tal, foram utilizadas dez fêmeas caprinas, com vários graus de mestiçagem, com idade aproximada de 4 meses, clinicamente sadias e sorologicamente negativas para a presen… Show more

“…However, in the present study, the transferrin concentrations remained high throughout the period of the experiment. This was similar to the results observed in goats that were infected experimentally with Trypanosoma evansi (PATELLI et al, 2008) and sheep infected with T. vivax (ALMEIDA, 2007). Transferrin is a beta globulin synthesized by hepatic cells, and its function is related to transportation of plasma iron, with antibacterial and antiviral activity, and its plasma concentration increases in cases of iron deficiency and during pregnancy (KANEKO et al, 2008).…”

“…In clinical practice, methods for detecting acute-phase proteins have assisted in diagnosing inflammatory processes (PATELLI et al, 2008). Some comparative studies have indicated that these proteins are more sensitive for detecting inflammation, in relation to hematological analyses (HORADAGODA et al, 1999).…”

“…There was no difference in serum total protein in ewes between groups and moments (Table 1, Figure 1). Contrary to the present study, Patelli et al (2008) did not report an increase in total protein concentrations in goats experimentally infected with Trypanossoma evansi when compared to the control group. Brum et al (2007) reported similar results to the findings of the present study in sheep naturally infected with facial eczema.…”
