The present study was aimed at investigating the effect of experimental infection by Trypanosoma vivax in different stages pregnancy, determining pathogenesis reproductive failure, and confirming transplacental transmission. We used 12 pregnant ewes distributed into four groups: G1, formed three infected with T. first third pregnancy (30 days); G2 comprised final (100 G3 G4 were composed non-infected same gestational period, respectively. Each ewe G1 inoculated 1.25×10(5) tripomastigotes....

Changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and anatomical histopathological central nervous system (CNS) lesions were evaluated, the presence of Trypanosoma vivax CNS tissues was investigated through PCR. Twelve adult male goats divided into three groups (G): G1, infected with T. evaluated during acute phase; G2, chronic G3, consisting non-infected goats. Each goat from G1 G2 1.25 × 10(5) trypomastigotes. Cerebrospinal analysis investigation performed at 15th day post-infection (dpi) on fifth...
