Article Synopsis
- Trypanosomosis caused by Trypanosoma evansi (surra) significantly affects camel health and production, prompting an investigation into its immunological impact on blood leukocytes.
- The study compared leukocyte populations and lymphocyte subsets between healthy camels and those with chronic surra, revealing a higher leukocyte count and reduced B cells in diseased camels.
- In vitro tests showed that T. evansi has a strong affinity for camel B cells, leading to their death through apoptosis and necrosis, highlighting the disease's immunosuppressive effects.
