Trypanosoma evansi induces detrimental immuno-catabolic alterations and condition like type-2 diabetes in buffaloes.
Parasitology International 2018 April
The present study aimed to investigate the perturbations in immuno-metabolic and redox status of buffaloes with trypanosomosis. Thirteen buffaloes suffering from clinical trypanosomosis and eight apparently healthy buffaloes were included in the present study. Buffaloes with trypanosomosis found to have markedly elevated levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10), nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) and beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) in comparison with healthy controls. Whereas, total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and haemoglobin levels of buffaloes with trypanosomosis were significantly lower than the healthy controls. Remarkable elevation in malondialdehyde (MDA) and protein carbonyls (PC) levels were also observed in the diseased buffaloes. Moreover, buffaloes with trypanosomosis were found to have markedly elevated levels of serum glucose, total proteins, globulins, urea and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and markedly lowered levels of serum calcium, total cholesterol levels and albumin/globulin (A/G) ratio as compared to the controls. Findings of our study evidently suggest that Trypanosoma evansi induces remarkable immunosuppressive and pro-oxidative status with an increased catabolic activity and hyperglycemic condition like type-2 diabetes in naturally infected buffaloes. Therefore, immuno-metabolic and pro-oxidative predicaments should be addressed by the veterinary clinician while managing the clinical cases of trypanosomosis in buffaloes.
