Identification of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense in naturally infected dogs in Nigeria [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Animal trypanosomosis is endemic in Nigeria, while the human disease caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense is rarely reported nowadays after efforts to bring it under control in the 20th century.

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.

Epidemiology of Trypanosomiasis in Wildlife—Implications for Humans at the Wildlife Interface in Africa

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
While both human and animal trypanosomiasis continue to present as major human and animal public health constraints globally, detailed analyses of trypanosome wildlife reservoir hosts remain sparse.

Eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1A (eEF1A) domain I from S. cerevisiae is required but not sufficient for inter-species complementation [PDF]

, 2012
Ethanolamine phosphoglycerol (EPG) is a protein modification attached exclusively to eukaryotic elongation factor 1A (eEF1A). In mammals and plants, EPG is linked to conserved glutamate residues located in eEF1A domains II and III, whereas in the ...

Ribose 5-phosphate isomerase B knockdown compromises Trypanosoma brucei bloodstream form infectivity. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
Ribose 5-phosphate isomerase is an enzyme involved in the non-oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway, and catalyzes the inter-conversion of D-ribose 5-phosphate and D-ribulose 5-phosphate.
