USE OF APROTININ FOR TREATING PARASITIC INFECTIONS AND PROGNOSING BOVINE TRYPANOTOLERANCE

摘要

The present invention relates the use of aprotinin in the treatment of parasitic diseases or infections that affect domesticated mammals, in particular the cattle, especially bovines. In particular, aprotinin finds application in the fight against pathogenic effects induced by parasites in the Trypanosomatidae family, such as the protozoa that belong to the Trypanosoma genus or Leishmania genus. The invention also relates to the use of aprotinin for the prognosis of bovine tolerance to trypanosomosis infections.
