Fig. 3From: Field and experimental symptomless infections support wandering donkeys as healthy carriers of Trypanosoma vivax in the Brazilian Semiarid, a region of outbreaks of high mortality in cattle and sheepExperimental infection of five donkeys and one goat with the T. vivax isolate TviBrRp. The parameters evaluated daily in the infected and non-infected donkeys over 30 experimental days were: a packed cell volume (PCV); b rectal temperatures (RT) in °C; c parasitemia (×105 trypanosomes/ml). d Illustrative figure shown to illustrate the general results of detection of T. vivax using the method of TviCATL-PCR (amplified DNA bands of ~177 bp resolved in agarose gels and stained with ethidium bromide) in blood samples of donkeys and a control goat (susceptible animal) following the course of infection from the 1st to the 30th day post-infection (dpi)Back to article page
