Analysis of Trypanosoma equiperdum Recombinant Proteins for the Serological Diagnosis of Dourine.

ABSTRACT: The significance of Trypanosoma equiperdum as the causative agent of dourine cannot be understated, especially given its high mortality rate among equids. International movement of equids should be subject to thorough health checks and screenings to ensure that animals are not infected with Trypanosoma equiperdum. This involves the implementation of quarantine protocols, testing procedures, and the issuance of health certificates to certify the health status of the animals. Three proteins, the peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (A0A1G4I8N3), the GrpE protein homolog (A0A1G4I464) and the transport protein particle (TRAPP) component, putative (A0A1G4I740) (UniProt accession numbers SCU68469.1, SCU66661.1 and SCU67727.1), were identified as unique to T. equiperdum by bio
