Development of anaemia in inflammatory diseases is cytokine-mediated. Specifically, the levels of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), produced by activated macrophages, are correlated with severity of disease and anaemia in infections and chronic disease. In African trypanosomiasis, anaemia...

Regulation of parasitaemia in mice infected with Trypanosoma brucei
Trypanosoma congolense is a protozoan parasite that causes severe diseases in livestock. Three major quantative trait loci (QTL), Tir1, Tir2, and Tir3, control the survival time of mice after infection with T. congolense. Congenic mice carrying the C57BL/6 resistance alleles on the A/J background...

Clinical chemistry of congenic mice with quantitative trait loci for predicted responses to Trypanosoma congolense infection
Trypanosoma congolense are extracellular protozoan parasites of the blood stream of artiodactyls and are one of the main constraints on cattle production in Africa. In cattle, anaemia is the key feature of disease and persists after parasitaemia has declined to low or undetectable levels, but tre...

Mechanisms controlling anaemia in Trypanosoma congolense infected mice
Although specific immunoglobulin (Ig) and B cell responses are suppressed during an infection, there is a general activation of the humoral component of the immune system in infections with African trypanosomes. The changes in the humoral immune systems during infections are summarised in this pa...
