SELF CURE OF TRYPANOSOMA-EVANSI EXPERIMENTAL-INFECTION IN A YOUNG CAMEL (CAMELUS-DROMEDARIUS)

An Ib-month-old camel calf was experimentally infected with a stock of T. evansi. The first parasites were detected in the animal's peripher al blood on Dg and the serological tests with IFAT were positive on D- 11 and by CATT on D-15. Between D-170 and D-581, the day of slaughter, none of the inoculations in mice (immunodepressed or not) with camel calf blood, both before and after its immunodepression, of blood, cere brospinal fluid and organs (liver, kidneys, heart, spleen...) examinat ions showed evidence of the trypanosomes in the camel's peripheral blo od.
