Trypanosoma congolense infection in sheep: ultrastructural changes in the skin prior to development of local skin reactions.
(University of Nairobi.Department of Veterinary Pathology and Microbiology, University of Nairobi, Kenya., 1995-11)Events occurring in the skin of sheep prior to development of Trypanosoma congolense-induced local skin reactions (chancres) were studied using electron microscopy. Three days after infection, few trypanosomes were present ... -
Biochemical and haematological effects of a revised dosage schedule of phenylbutazone in horses
(1983)Five pairs of matched horses were used to study the biochemical and haematological effects of a revised dosage schedule of phenylbutazone. One group of five horses received a phenylbutazone paste formulation daily for 12 ... -
Cellular phenotypes in Trypanosoma congolense infected sheep: the local skin reaction
(University of Nairobi.Department of Veterinary Pathology and Microbiology, University of Nairobi, Kenya., 1990-11)Mononuclear cell subpopulations in local skin reactions (chancres) in sheep infected with metacyclic forms of Trypanosoma congolense were studied by indirect immunoperoxidase staining using a panel of monoclonal antibodies ... -
