The relapse of Trypanosoma brucei brucei infections after chemotherapy in rabbits.
1988
Infections of T. brucei in the rabbit were found to relapse after chemotherapy. The results indicated that 25 mg/kg diminazene aceturate given 3 days after infection resulted in a complete cure but if given 7 days after infection relapses frequently occurred. However, treatment was apparently successful if delayed until 14 or 21 days. Six of the rabbits originally treated with diminazene aceturate on day 7 were treated with suramin 21 days later; in 3 rabbits the infections relapsed. In all rabbits in which drug treatment was not curative, the clinical condition nevertheless improved. An attempt to locate a cryptic focus of infection in rabbits was unsuccessful.
