Chromosome analysis was made on peripheral blood and bone marrow cells of bovine twins, triplets and quadruplets of different sex. Both sexes showed 60,XY/60,XX chimerism. The percentage of cells with XX and XY chromosomes varied from animal to animal, ranging from 10% to 76%. The differences between the peripheral blood and bone marrow were relatively small. Some males had a majority of cells with female heterochromosomes.This chimerism presumably also affects other tissues, because the progeny of a bull with a 60,XX/60,XY pattern and 68% of cells with XX heterochromosomes showed a marked shift in the sex ratio, namely, 68 ♂: 100 ♀. This evidence suggests that the chimerism affects spermatogonia, which, nevertheless, are able to produce fertile spermatozoa.Immunological studies of the quadruplets showed identity of red blood cell antigens in the A, B, C, FV, L, SU, Z and Ŕ/Ś systems. Cross transplantation of skin grafts among the quadruplets produced not even traces of antibodies to these red blood cell antigens, and no cytotoxic antibodies to peripheral blood lymphocytes in these animals.

IntroductionHIV coinfection presents a challenge for diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis (VL). Invasive splenic or bone marrow aspiration with microscopic visualisation of Leishmania parasites remains the gold standard for diagnosis of VL in HIV-coinfected patients. Furthermore, a test of cure by splenic or bone marrow aspiration is required as patients with VL-HIV infection are at a high risk of treatment failure. However, there remain financial, implementation and safety costs to these invasive techniques which severely limit their use under field conditions.Methods and analysisWe aim to evaluate blood and skin qPCR, peripheral blood buffy coat smear microscopy and urine antigen ELISA as non-invasive or minimally invasive alternatives for diagnosis and post-treatment test of cure for VL in HIV-coinfected patients in India, using a sample of 91 patients with parasitologically confirmed symptomatic VL-HIV infection.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval for this study has been granted by The Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, The Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp, the University of Antwerp and the Rajendra Memorial Research Institute of Medical Science in Patna. Any future publications will be published in open access journals.Trial registration numberCTRI/2019/03/017908.
