Amyloidosis in Rabbits Infected with Trypanosoma evansi

Abstract

Amyloidosis was observed in 3 out of 6 male rabbits experimentally infected with Trypanosoma evansi. Amyloid deposit was seen in the splenic perifollicular spaces, hepatic sinusoids or renal glomerular tufts. Lymphoid and plasma cell clusters were seen in the spleen and lymph nodes with persistent high levels of serum IgM.
