A bioassay was used to measure erythropoietin (EPO) concentrations in calves with haemorrhagic anaemia due to blood loss and in calves with anaemia due to Trypanosoma congolense infection. The bioactivity of EPO was measured in the assay by its stimulatory effect on 125I-deoxyuridine incorporatio...
Anaemia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in bovine trypanosomiasis and has served as the main parameter to monitor the severity of the disease. In fact, trypanosome-infected cattle experience intermittent episodes of pancytopaenia including anaemia, leucopaenia and trombocytopaenia. Co...

Comparative bone marrow responses during Trypanosoma congolense infection in N'Dama and Boran cattle
Using in vitro clonogenic assays, the changes in haemopoietic progenitor cell levels were compared in the bone marrow of three adult trypanotolerant N'Dama cattle and three age-matched trypanosusceptible Boran cattle over 17 weeks (119 days) of a primary Trypanosoma congolense (clone IL 1180) inf...
