The hemolytic activity of an isolate of Monocercomonas spp. from Tropidophis melanurus (snake: Boidae) was investigated. The isolate was tested against human erythrocytes of groups A, B, AB and O and against erythrocytes of six adult animals of different species (rabbit, rat, chicken, horse, bovine, and sheep). Results show that Monocercomonas spp. exerted an hemolytic activity against all erythrocytes tested.
Résumé
L'activité hémolytique d'un isolat de Monocercomonas spp. provenant de Tropidophis melanurus (serpent: Boidae) a été étudiée. L'isolat a été testé avec les hématies appartenant aux groupes sanguins humains A, B, AB et O et les hématies de six animaux adultes d'espèces différentes (lapin, rat, poulet, cheval, bœuf et mouton). Les résultats ont montré que Monocercomonas spp. exerce une activité hémolytique sur toutes les hématies testées.
