چکیده انگلیسی
A strain of Trypanosoma evansi isolated from an equine case of surra in Mindanao, Philippines was used to infect intravenously two groups (A and B) of five male goats aged 8-10 months. Animals of groups A and B received 5000 and 50 000 trypanosomes, respectively, and five further animals (group C) served as uninfected controls. Four of the 10 infected goats died 8-78 days after inoculation. Group C goats gained weight (mean 22.8Â g/day) while infected goats in groups A and B lost weight (means of 21.4 and 45.0Â g/day, respectively). Parasitaemia fluctuated regularly between peaks and troughs, with repeated periods of about 6 days during which no trypanosomes were detected in the blood. Clinical signs and clinico-pathological changes in infected goats were not pathognomonic in the absence of parasites in the blood, and leucocytosis was not a reliable indicator of infection. It was concluded that in endemic areas fluctuating fever, progressive emaciation, anaemia, coughing, testicular enlargement and diarrhoea are suggestive of surra; confirmation, however, may necessitate examination of blood every few days for trypanosomes, and possibly other diagnostic tests.
