Not AvailableTrypanosoma evansi infections, commonly called ‘surra’, cause significant economic losses to livestock
industry. While this infection is mainly restricted to large animals such as camels, donkeys and equines, recent reports
indicate their ability to infect humans. There are no World Animal Health Organization (WAHO) prescribed diagnostic tests
or vaccines available against this disease and the available drugs show significant toxicity. There is an urgent need to
develop improved methods of diagnosis and control measures for this disease. Unlike its related human parasites T. brucei
and T. cruzi whose genomes have been fully sequenced T. evansi genome sequence remains unavailable and very little
efforts are being made to develop improved methods of prevention, diagnosis and treatment. With a view to identify
potential diagnostic markers and drug targets we have studied the clinical proteome of T. evansi infection using mass
spectrometry (MS).Not Availabl
