Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method for rapid detection of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense [PDF]
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) of DNA is a novel technique that rapidly amplifies target DNA under isothermal conditions. In the present study, a LAMP test was designed from the serum resistance-associated (SRA) gene of Trypanosoma brucei ...

Cytomegalovirus is associated with depression and anxiety in older adults [PDF]
Infection with cytomegalovirus (CMV), a β-herpesvirus, is common within the population. Although asymptomatic, infection is associated with increased serum concentrations of cytokines such as TNFα and IL-6, which are also related to mood and wellbeing ...

Molecular epidemiology of African sleeping sickness [PDF]
Human sleeping sickness in Africa, caused by Trypanosoma brucei spp. raises a number of questions. Despite the widespread distribution of the tsetse vectors and animal trypanosomiasis, human disease is only found in discrete foci which periodically give ...

Molecular variation of Trypanosoma brucei subspecies as revealed by AFLP fingerprinting [PDF]
Genetic analysis of Trypanosoma spp. depends on the detection of variation between strains. We have used the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique to develop a convenient and reliable method for genetic characterization of Trypanosome ...
