Experimental infection of five donkeys and one goat with the T. vivax isolate TviBrRp. The parameters evaluated daily in the infected and non-infected donkeys over 30 experimental days were: a packed cell volume (PCV); b rectal temperatures (RT) in °C; c parasitemia (×105 trypanosomes/ml). d Illustrative figure shown to illustrate the general results of detection of T. vivax using the method of TviCATL-PCR (amplified DNA bands of ~177 bp resolved in agarose gels and stained with ethidium bromide) in blood samples of donkeys and a control goat (susceptible animal) following the course of infection from the 1st to the 30th day post-infection (dpi)
