Increased susceptibility of Trypanosoma lewisi infected, or decomplemented rats to Salmonella typhimurium. 1978

K Nielsen, and J Sheppard, and W Holmes, and I Tizard

Rats infected with Trypanosoma lewisi or decomplemented by injection of cobra venom factor or complement activating factor of trypanosomes were found to be more susceptible to infection with Salmonella typhimurium. Decomplemented rats subsequently infected with T. lewisi developed higher blood parasitemia than did normal T. lewisi infected rats.
