Towards disentangling the classification of freshwater fish trypanosomes
Currently, new species of freshwater fish trypanosomes, which are economically important parasites, are being described based on subjectively...

The detection of African trypanosomes in goats reared in tsetse infested villages of Eastern Zambia
Control programmes for African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT) in livestock have been mainly focused on cattle with very little focus on goats, an...

Molecular characterization of pathogenic African trypanosomes in biting flies and camels in surra-endemic areas outside the tsetse fly belt in Kenya
African animal trypanosomosis (nagana) is becoming prevalent beyond its traditionally defined geographical boundaries in African tsetse belts....

Active Participation of the Liver in the Response of Bream Abramis brama to Infection with Trypanosomes
AbstractData on the biochemical analysis of liver tissue in bream from the Uglich Reservoir infected with trypanosomes are presented. It is found...

Sequential production of gametes during meiosis in trypanosomes
Meiosis is a core feature of eukaryotes that occurs in all major groups, including the early diverging excavates. In this group, meiosis and...

AQPX-cluster aquaporins and aquaglyceroporins are asymmetrically distributed in trypanosomes
Major Intrinsic Proteins (MIPs) are membrane channels that permeate water and other small solutes. Some trypanosomatid MIPs mediate the uptake of...

Interactions among Sodalis, Glossina pallidipes salivary gland hypertrophy virus and trypanosomes in wild Glossina pallidipes
The successful implementation of area-wide integrated tsetse control using the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) relies on various factors. These...

TatD DNases of African trypanosomes confer resistance to host neutrophil extracellular traps
African trypanosomatid parasites escape host acquired immune responses through periodic antigenic variation of their surface coat. In this study, we...

Biochemical Fractionation of Trypanosomes for the Analysis of Glycosomal Protein Import Defects
Insect-transmitted trypanosomatid parasite infections cause life-threatening neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), including African slee** sickness,...

Interaction of Triatomines with Their Bacterial Microbiota and Trypanosomes
In this book chapter, we discuss the interactions between triatomines, two heteroxenous trypanosomatids—Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of...

Spatial integration of transcription and splicing in a dedicated compartment sustains monogenic antigen expression in African trypanosomes
Highly selective gene expression is a key requirement for antigenic variation in several pathogens, allowing evasion of host immune responses and...

Effect of Trypanosome Infection on Hematological Parameters of the Black Sea Sprat (Clupeonella cultriventris) from the Ivankovo Reservoir
AbstractFor the first time, light microscopy has been used to study the parameters of blood cells for the Black Sea sprat ( Clupeonella cultriventris ...

Genome-wide chromatin interaction map for Trypanosoma cruzi
Trypanosomes are eukaryotic, unicellular parasites, such as Trypanosoma brucei , which causes slee** sickness, and Trypanosoma cruzi , which causes...

Occurrence of Trypanosoma spp. and piroplasm infections of horses at Obollo-Afor southeastern Nigeria and resistance profiles of trypanosomes to isometamidium and diminazene salts
Epidemiological data on trypanosomosis and piroplasmosis of horses are lacking in southeastern Nigeria. The prevalence of trypanosome and piroplasm...

Prevalence and control implications of bovine trypanosomes in endemic areas of northern Uganda
African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT), a disease complex caused by tsetse fly–transmitted Trypanosoma brucei brucei , T. congolense savannah ITS, and T....

Extracts of the cyanobacteria Microcystis flos-aquae contain potent anti-Trypanosoma compounds
To find new compounds for future development of anti- Trypanosoma drugs, we investigated cyanobacteria for secondary metabolites that kill...

The Janus-faced functions of Apolipoproteins L in membrane dynamics
The functions of human Apolipoproteins L (APOLs) are poorly understood, but involve diverse activities like lysis of bloodstream trypanosomes and...

In vitro trypanocidal activities and structure–activity relationships of ciprofloxacin analogs
Tropical diseases, such as African trypanosomiasis, by their nature and prevalence lack the necessary urgency regarding drug development, despite the...
