(Department of Clinical Studies, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Nairobi, 1994)Equines are particularly susceptible to infection withTrypanosoma evansi andT. brucei, but rarely is naturalT. congolense andT. vivax infection seen in horses. An outbreak of trypanosomosis occurred in a herd of horses ... -
Trypanosoma congolense infection in sheep: cellular phenotypes in lymph and lymph nodes associated with skin reactions.
(University of Nairobi.Department of Veterinary Pathology and Microbiology, University of Nairobi, Kenya., 1996-01)Intradermal inoculation of sheep with culture-derived metacyclic forms of Trypanosoma congolense resulted in the development of localized skin reactions (chancres) and enlargement of the draining lymph nodes 7 days after ... -
Trypanosoma congolense infection in sheep: ultrastructural changes in the skin prior to development of local skin reactions.
(University of Nairobi.Department of Veterinary Pathology and Microbiology, University of Nairobi, Kenya., 1995-11)Events occurring in the skin of sheep prior to development of Trypanosoma congolense-induced local skin reactions (chancres) were studied using electron microscopy.

Trypanosomal antigen and antibody levels in field camels following treatment with two trypanocidal drugs.
(University of Nairobi.Department of Veterinary Pathology and Microbiology, University of Nairobi, Kenya., 1992-09)The efficacy of treatment in 61 naturally trypanosome-infected camels was evaluated by antigen and antibody detection. Following treatment of 14 infected field camels with an arsenical drug (RM110) no trypanosomal antigens ... -

Trypanosome-induced depression of plasma thyroxine. Levels in prepubertal and adult female goats.
(University of Nairobi.Reproductive Biology Unit, NCRR, University of Nairobi, Kenya., 1988-09)Changes in plasma T4 levels were investigated in prepubertal and adult female goats during the course of an experimental Trypanosoma congolense infection. A significant decline in the T4 levels was observed within 1 week ... -
Trypanosome-induced increase in prostaglandin F< sub> 2α</sub> and its relationship with corpus luteum function in the goa
(Reproductive Biology Unit, University of Nairobi, 1989)Plasma progesterone and 13,14-dihydro-15-keto Prostaglandin F2α (PGFM) were measured in normal (uninfected) and -infected adult goats for a period of 121 d, from May to August, during the breeding season in Kenya. Chronic ... -
Trypanosomiasis and the conservation of black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) at the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary, Tsavo West National Park, Kenya
(Department of Public Health, Pharmacology and Toxicology, 1992)Tsetse populations and trypanosome infections were monitored at the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary to assess the impact of trypanosomiasis on rhinoceros. High densities of Glossina pallidipes were found near a permanent spring by ... -

Two distinct regions of FC gamma RI initiate separate signalling pathways involved in endocytosis and phagocytosis
(1995)Cross-linking of the high affinity receptor for IgG, Fc gamma RI, can result in both endocytosis of immune complexes and phagocytosis of opsonized particles in myeloid cells, although the cytoplasmic domain of the receptor ... -
