dourine
venereal disease of horses, caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma equiperdum. The disease, which involves paralysis, is incurable. Serum tests have largely eradicated it in advanced countries, where a positive test requires the destruction of the animal. Trypanosomiasis, also caused by Trypanosoma, is known in two forms, Chagas' disease and sleeping sickness (qq.v.).
