Comparative studies of Trypanosoma (Duttonella) vivax isolates from Colombia by Dirie, M.F., Otte, M.J., Thathi, R., Gardiner, Peter R.

“…There was, however, little serological cross-reactivity between South American and African groups ofT. vivax. Although theT. vivaxisolates from Colombia were pathogenic for dairy calves which showed the typical sign of progressive emaciation, these parasites failed to infect mice or tsetseand could not be cultivated as bloodstream formsin vitro.This study represents initial attempts to establish the phenotypic and serological diversity amongstT. vivaxisolates from South America.…”
