Application | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
medicine | quality of semen is affected in part by the loss in the activity of alpha-fucosidase, which may be useful in early diagnosis of the loss in reproductive capacity during the course of trypanosomiasis and fertility tests | Trypanosoma congolense |

alpha-fucosidase from the uninfected semen displays a broad acidic pH range of 4.55.5 and a subsequent neutral optimum of pH 6.87.2. There is an absence of the neutral pH optimum for the pathological semen | Trypanosoma congolense |
