The effect of high oral magnesium chloride supplementation on the pathogenicity of Trypanosoma brucei brucei and T. congolense infections in rats
Eighty healthy adult albino rats of both sex weighing 200-240 grams were used to assess the effect of high oral Magnesium chloride (100mg/kg body weight) supplementation on the pathogenicity of T. b. brucei (Basa strain) or T, congolense (Gboko strain) infections. Two studies were carried out and the rats were divided into 4 groups of 10 rats each (per study) namely; Group A (uninfected, unsupplemented control), Group B (uninfected and supplemented with Magnesium chloride), Group C (T.b. brucei or T. congolense infected, 1x10 6 trypanosomes and supplemented), Group D (T.b. brucei or T, congolense infected, 1x10 6 trypanosomes and unsupplemented). Each rat in groups B and C received approximately 0.2ml of MgCl2 intragastrically daily for 10 days before and during the course of the infection.
