The sensitivity of seven populations of T. congolense to the salts of three trypanocides, diminazene, isometamidium and homidium, were determined in vitro using in vitro-derived metacyclic trypanosomes. The trypanosomes were incubated at 35 degree centigrade for 48 hours with various drug concent...

Resistance to the drugs used to control African animal trypanosomosis is increasingly recognised as a constraint to livestock production in sub-Saharan Africa. The most commonly used tests for detection of trypanocidal drug resistance are tests using mice or ruminants, but these suffer from lack ...

Bloodstream forms of four populations of the livestock pathogen Trypanosoma congolense, isolated from different natural infections, have been shown to exhibit a wide range of sensitivities to the trypanocide isometamidium chloride (Samorin). In mice the 50 percent curative doses (CD 50) for Samor...
