AB  - Trypanosomiasis is a haemoprotozoan disease which affects 
  both human and all species of domesticated mammal, especially <I>Trypanosoma 
  evansi</I> in dromedaries. In the present study, early tool for prediction of 
  <I>Trypanosoma evansi</I> infections related to seroprotein changes of dromedary 
  in Tunisia was studied. Animals were distributed into 3 groups on the basis 
  of their status related to trypanosomiasis by indirect immunoflurorescence-test: 
  Healthy animals with negative serology for <I>T. evansi</I> infection, seropositive 
  animals without clinical signs (apparently healthy) and seropositive diseased 
  animals. Quantifiable changes in the electropherogram were apparent in dromedaries 
  infected by trypanosomiasis with a significant hyperprotidemia and an increase 
  of the gamma globulins fraction in seropositive animals with or without clinical 
  signs (p&lt;0.05). Moreover, seropositive camels that are not suffering from 
  majors zoonotic bacterial diseases can cause immunoglobulin secretion. The results 
  from this study showed that there was specific pattern in serum protein and 
  electrophorerogram that could be used to distinguish infected with or without 
  symptoms of <I>T. evansi</I> infection from uninfected animals. It appears that 
  serum protein electrophoresis can be used by clinicians to predict trypanosomiasis 
  with great ease in outbreak of <I>T. evansi</I> infection in combination with 
  serological, clinical and laboratory findings of this disease.
