Trypanocidal activity of human plasma on Trypanosoma evansi in mice.

This study aimed to test an alternative protocol with human plasma to control Trypanosoma evansi infection in mice. Plasma from an apparently 27-year-old healthy male, blood type A+, was used in the study. A concentration of 100 mg.

Susceptibility of Trypanosoma evansi to cordycepin.

Drugs, which are effective during the early stage of trypanosomosis, but poorly penetrate the blood-brain barrier, are ineffective when parasites reach the brain and cause encephalitis. In order to seek alternative treatments, the aim of this study was to test the susceptibility of T. evansi to cordycepin in vitro and in rats experimentally infected.
