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

PI(3,4,5)P3 allosteric regulation of repressor activator protein 1 controls antigenic variation in trypanosomes

eLife, 2023
African trypanosomes evade host immune clearance by antigenic variation, causing persistent infections in humans and animals. These parasites express a homogeneous surface coat of variant surface glycoproteins (VSGs).

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.

Phosphoglycerate kinase: structural aspects and functions, with special emphasis on the enzyme from Kinetoplastea [PDF]

Open Biology, 2020
Phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) is a glycolytic enzyme that is well conserved among the three domains of life. PGK is usually a monomeric enzyme of about 45 kDa that catalyses one of the two ATP-producing reactions in the glycolytic pathway, through the ...

Bhalin, an Essential Cytoskeleton-Associated Protein of Trypanosoma brucei Linking TbBILBO1 of the Flagellar Pocket Collar with the Hook Complex

Microorganisms, 2021
Background: In most trypanosomes, endo and exocytosis only occur at a unique organelle called the flagellar pocket (FP) and the flagellum exits the cell via the FP.

Regulation of gene expression in trypanosomatids: living with polycistronic transcription [PDF]

Open Biology, 2019
In trypanosomes, RNA polymerase II transcription is polycistronic and individual mRNAs are excised by trans-splicing and polyadenylation. The lack of individual gene transcription control is compensated by control of mRNA processing, translation and ...

Review on trypanosomiasis and their prevalence in some country on the Red Sea

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2021
Trypanosomiasis is a protozoan infection affecting both human and animals in almost all parts of the world. It can affect a very large range of domestic and wild hosts including camelids, equines, cattle, buffaloes, sheep, goats, pigs, dogs and other ...
