The role of the bone marrow in bovine trypanotolerance II. Macrophage function inTrypanosoma congolense-infected cattle

Sequential biopsies of sternal bone marrow (BM) of three trypanosusceptible Boran and three trypanotolerant N'Dama cattle were examined by light and transmission electron microscopy before and up to 112 days postinfection (DPI) withTrypanosoma congolense. Before infection, the percentage of cel...

Zusammenfassung:Sequential biopsies of sternal bone marrow (BM) of three trypanosusceptible Boran and three trypanotolerant N'Dama cattle were examined by light and transmission electron microscopy before and up to 112 days postinfection (DPI) withTrypanosoma congolense. Before infection, the percentage of cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) including the macrophage (M) and the calculated index of M volume in the BM were similar in both breeds, whereas the mean M surface area was significantly higher (p
