Abstract
The morphometric characteristics of three Venezuelan isolates of Trypanosoma evansi, and the basic hematological features as well as host’s body weight were registered throughout experimental murine infections. The phenomena, trypomastigote morphometry dynamics, mouse hematological change and mice body variation, are related in statistical terms. In addition, the changeable morphometric characteristics of the hemoflagellate, and the host’s mutable hematological attributes, and the variable host’s body eight produced three different mathematical models generated by Multiple Linear Regressions that could explain the heterogeneous behavior of this eclectic parasite. Even more, supplementary mathematical models provided by Correspondence Analysis emphasize this reasoning. The results herein presented suggest that the association between trypomastigote morphometry, and host hematology, as well as body eight could be a feasible starting point to understand the heterogeneity of the T. evansi isolates.
