A review on the diagnosis of animal trypanosomoses

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
This review focuses on the most reliable and up-to-date methods for diagnosing trypanosomoses, a group of diseases of wild and domestic mammals, caused by trypanosomes, parasitic zooflagellate protozoans mainly transmitted by insects.

Genomic Occupancy of the Bromodomain Protein Bdf3 Is Dynamic during Differentiation of African Trypanosomes from Bloodstream to Procyclic Forms

mSphere, 2022
Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of human and animal African trypanosomiasis, cycles between a mammalian host and a tsetse fly vector. The parasite undergoes huge changes in morphology and metabolism during adaptation to each host environment ...

Atlantic trade and the West African market economy: New evidence from cowry imports, 1650–1905

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Between the seventeenth and twentieth centuries, billions of cowries arrived in West Africa, leaving one of the few quantitative traces available for historians to measure the Atlantic trade's impact on the precolonial market economy. Yet, current estimates substantially underestimate the volume of cowry imports.

Identifying Transmission Cycles at the Human-Animal Interface: The Role of Animal Reservoirs in Maintaining Gambiense Human African Trypanosomiasis [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology, 2013
Many infections can be transmitted between animals and humans. The epidemiological roles of different species can vary from important reservoirs to dead-end hosts. Here, we present a method to identify transmission cycles in different combinations of species from field data.

A murine model of Trypanosoma brucei-induced myocarditis and cardiac dysfunction

Microbiology Spectrum
Trypanosoma brucei is a protozoan parasite that causes human and animal African trypanosomiases (HAT and AAT). Cardiac symptoms are commonly reported in HAT patients, and intracardiac parasites with accompanying myocarditis have been observed in both ...

Evaluation of NTD-O2, a Ghanaian herbal medicine, for onchocerciasis and animal African trypanosomiasis. [PDF]

BMC Complement Med Ther
Herbal medicine remains central to primary healthcare in Ghana due to its accessibility and perceived safety. NTD-O2 is an aqueous herbal formulation derived from Xylopia aethiopica fruits and Bambusa vulgaris leaves, traditionally used for managing onchocerciasis, a neglected tropical disease (NTD) endemic to the country.

Local Solutions to Structural Issues: The Fetishization of Custom in Rural Development Interventions in Côte d'Ivoire

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the paradox of seeking local solutions in rural development when conflicts result from structural transformations of the agrarian economy driven by national political choices. Since the 1990s, participatory approaches inspired by neo‐institutionalist theories of local governance have encouraged development actors to view ...

The role of domestic animals in the epidemiology of human african trypanosomiasis in Ngorongoro conservation area, Tanzania [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Trypanosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by the trypanosome parasite and transmitted by the tsetse fly vector. In Sub-saharan Africa, both the human and animal variants of the disease are a great obstacle towards agriculture, development, and health.

Garlic‐Derived Behavioural Deterrents: Diallyl Disulfide and TrpA1‐Mediated Suppression of Insect Reproduction

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 2, December 2026.
Garlic‐derived diallyl disulfide acts as a behavioural deterrent that suppresses insect mating and oviposition through sensory pathways. The compound is detected through gustatory mechanisms involving the transient receptor potential A1 (TrpA1) channel and neural responses.

Experiences of the one-health approach by the Uganda Trypanosomiasis Control Council and its secretariat in the control of zoonotic sleeping sickness in Uganda

Parasite Epidemiology and Control, 2020
Elimination of sleeping sickness from endemic countries like Uganda is key if the affected communities are to exploit the potential of the available human and livestock resources (production and productivity). Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, the parasite
