| Abstract | The course of experimental T. evansi nfection in four dogs was followed for 82 days and hematological, biochemical and anatomopathologi cal findings were studied. Infected animals showed progressive decrease in red bloo cell count and hemoglobin concentration, leading to anemia which persisted fr om the third week post-infection until the end of the study. Leucopenia and neutrope nia were observed between weeks 2 and 5 of the infection. The infected dogs developed hyperproteinemia and a decrease in the albumin:globulin ratio was observed. Aspartate aminotransferase and alamine aminotransferase levels increased significantly in infected dogs in comparison to control dogs. Histological changes observed in all infected animals consisted of lymphoid hyperplasia in spleens and lymph nodes and centrilo bular degeneration and periportal mononuclear cell accumulation in the liver. A massi ve mononuclear cell infiltration of the myocardium was seen in three dogs and a nonsupp urative meningoencephalitis was evidente in two infected animals. |
