Orthogonal‐field‐alternation gel electrophoresis and DNA blot hybridizations have been used to investigate the genomic relationships among trypanosome clones of subgenus Nannomonas. The results indicate that Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense comprises at least two distinct groups of parasites that differ in both molecular karyotype and repetitive DNA sequences. A description of these two groups and their distinction from Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) simiae is presented.

Forty growing pigs were used in an experiment to determine the probable cause of retarded growth or weight loss in animals suffering from trypanosomiasis caused by Trypanosoma brucei, T. congolense or T. simiae. Animals infected with T. brucei or T. congolense had mild or symptomless infections with no significant effect on packed cell volume (PCV), voluntary feed intake, mean liveweight gain, feed conversion efficiency, carcass traits or feed cost per unit of weight gain. Uninfected pigs gained slightly more and required slightly less feed per unit of weight gain than pigs infected with T. brucei or T. congolense but the differences were non-significant. Pigs infected with T. simiae showed a marked drop in PCV and a significantly poor performance which was reflected in curtailment of feed intake, impaired feed conversion efficiency, growth failure, poor carcass traits and extremely high and uneconomical feed cost per unit of weight gain. Growth failure or weight loss in trypanosomiasis would appear to be due largely to the combined effect of reduced feed intake and impaired efficiency of feed conversion.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
