翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク Covering sickness ： ウィキペディア英語版 Covering sickness Covering sickness, or dourine (French, from the Arabic ''darina'', meaning mangy (said of a female camel), feminine of ''darin'', meaning dirty), is a disease of horses and other members of the family equidae. The disease is caused by ''Trypanosoma equiperdum'', which belongs to an important genus of parasitic protozoa, and is the only member of the genus that is spread through sexual intercourse. The occurrence of dourine is notifiable in the European Union under legislation from the OIE. There currently is no vaccine and although clinical signs can be treated,〔 there is no cure.〔 == Parasite == ''Trypanosoma equiperdum'' is one of three known strains from the ''Trypanosoma'' family; along with ''Trypanosoma evansi'' and ''Trypanosoma brucei''.〔 ''Trypanosoma equiperdum'' has been discovered to be most closely linked to ''Trypanosoma evansi'', so much so that even observation under microscope is not sufficient to differentiate between the two as their structure is very similar. Dourine is a unique disease in the sense that it has no known vectors or fomites existing in the natural world, other than members of the equine family, including donkeys, mules, and horses. In a laboratory setting, ''Trypanosoma equiperdum'' has been manipulated to adapt to and proliferate in other species, such as dogs, rabbits, mice and rats, but this has never been observed to occur naturally and without scientific manipulation.〔 Although this limits spread of the disease because it is restricted to the equine population alone, the organism has developed complex mechanisms over time to better equip itself for prolonged survival in the equine species. This parasite efficiently evades the host animal's immune system through the use of variable surface glycoproteins or VSGs. These VSGs allow the organism to constantly manipulate and change the surface structure of its proteins, which means it is constantly being presented to the immune system as a new foreign organism and this prevents the body from mounting a large enough immune response to eradicate the disease.〔 In this sense, ''Trypanosoma equiperdum'' is a very efficient organism; it may infect less species than other diseases, but it infects and survives very efficiently within its specified hosts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Covering sickness」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
