Determinación de la supervivencia de Trypanosoma evansi en ... - OIE

758
yielding positive results by the MH technique showed the least variation during
the first 24-36 h after sample collection. Survival varied with the anticoagulant
used, but it declined rapidly from 48 h after collection, although live parasites
were still observed in up to 10% of samples until the seventh day. On the basis of
the results obtained, the authors recommend the use of sodium citrate in treating
equine blood samples for the parasitological diagnosis of T. evansi.
