Abstract:
The study investigated effect of human serum, plasma, and blood on
Trypansoma Evansi. Three sets of experiments involved 3 groups of rats
with T.evansi incubated in human plasma, serum and whole blood. The
serum, plasma, and blood arrested the development of parasitaemia in rats
for 8 days when equal volumes of the parasite and the serum, plasma, and
blood were incubated for 30 minutes and inoculated interaperitonealy. All
the control that inoculated with T.evansi incubated in Camel serum, plasma,
and blood developed patent parasitaemia as of Day1. In vitro testing of
human serum, but not camel serum, showed that the serum agglutinated T.
