Molecular detection of Trypanosoma species in sheep and goats in Mosul city [PDF]
Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2022 In this study, we examined blood samples of 385 sheep and goats of different ages, sexes, and sources under routine microscopic examination of the blood smear (wet, thin, thick, buffy coat layer smears) to detect Trypanosoma. Results show that 81 samples

Trends in Parasitology, 2020 Trypanosoma cruzi is the etiological agent of American trypanosomiasis, or Chagas disease, and is transmitted mainly by blood-sucking reduviid insects in endemic countries. Metacyclic trypomastigotes released in the feces during the insect blood meal enter a mammalian host through skin wounds or mucosal membranes and invade sur- rounding cells.

Structure, kinetic characterization and subcellular localization of the two ribulose 5-phosphate epimerase isoenzymes from Trypanosoma cruzi [PDF]
, 2017 The enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) ribulose-5-phosphate-epimerase (RPE) is encoded by two genes present in the genome of Trypanosoma cruzi CL Brener clone: TcRPE1 and TcRPE2. Despite high sequence similarity at the amino acid residue level,

Population genetics of trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense: clonality and diversity within and between foci [PDF]
, 2013 African trypanosomes are unusual among pathogenic protozoa in that they can undergo their complete morphological life cycle in the tsetse fly vector with mating as a non-obligatory part of this development.

Chagas Cardiomyopathy: From Romaña Sign to Heart Failure and Sudden Cardiac Death
Pathogens, 2021 Despite nearly a century of research and accounting for the highest disease burden of any parasitic disease in the Western Hemisphere, Chagas disease (CD) is still a challenging diagnosis, primarily due to its poor recognition outside of Latin America ...

Detection of Blood Parasites in Fish
Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2023 Fish are often infected with different blood protozoa of the genera Babesiosoma, Trypanosoma, and Hemogrigarina. These blood parasites match the genera which infect the blood of mammals.
