Description
One of the main characteristics of the trypanosomosis is the development of anemia, although its pathogenesis still remains unclear. Therefore, the objective of this study was to discuss the possible pathogenesis of anemia in the infection by Trypanosoma evansi in cats. A study using an experimental model with T. evansi-infected cats reported changes in serum iron levels, alterations in the activity of enzymes of the cholinergic system, and oxidative stress correlated to normocytic, normochromic, and regenerative anemia. During this article, the aforementioned parameters will be simultaneously analyzed and related to hematological parameters that determine anemia in cats infected with this protozoan.
