Show abstract
Trypanosoma vivax is one of the main species responsible for animal African trypanosomiasis in West Africa and has a marked economic impact on livestock in Sub-Saharan Africa and South America endemic countries. In this work, T. vivax was demonstrated by immunohistochemical technique in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded in tissues of experimentally infected sheep using polyclonal antibodies produced against formalin-fixed trypomastigotes. T. vivax was observed within multiple small and medium-size vessels from multiple organs, including the liver and kidneys. The immunostaining was evidenced in an intense cherry red. This is the first immunohistochemical experiment that shows T. vivax in fixed tissues.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
