Modulation of succinyl-CoA:3-ketoacid CoA transferase activity by a single amino acid residue in acetate:succinate CoA transferase from Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of African sleeping sickness. [PDF]

Protein Sci
Abstract Trypanosomatids are protozoan parasites that remain a global health challenge due to the limited efficacy, safety, and durability of current treatments. Acetate: succinate CoA transferase (ASCT), together with succinyl‐CoA synthase (SCS), forms the ASCT/SCS cycle that fuels ATP production and generates acetate, a central metabolic intermediate

Modelling motility of Trypanosoma brucei. [PDF]

PLoS Comput Biol
African trypanosomiasis, or sleeping sickness, is a life-threatening disease caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei. The bloodstream form of T. brucei has a slender body with a relatively long active flagellum, which makes it an excellent swimmer.

Wild chimpanzees are infected by Trypanosoma brucei

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2015
Although wild chimpanzees and other African great apes live in regions endemic for African sleeping sickness, very little is known about their trypanosome infections, mainly due to major difficulties in obtaining their blood samples.

The developmental cell biology of Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

, 2005
Trypanosoma brucei provides an excellent system for studies of many aspects of cell biology, including cell structure and morphology, organelle positioning, cell division and protein trafficking. However, the trypanosome has a complex life cycle in which

The individual components of commercial isometamidium do not possess stronger trypanocidal activity than the mixture, nor bypass isometamidium resistance

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2019
The four components present in the trypanocidal treatment Samorin, the commercially available formulation of isometamidium, were separated and purified by column chromatography.

Independence from kinetoplast DNA maintenance and expression is associated with multi-drug resistance in Trypanosoma brucei in vitro [PDF]

, 2014
It is well known that several antitrypanosomatid drugs accumulate in the parasite's mitochondrion, where they often bind to the organellar DNA, the kinetoplast.

African Trypanosomes undermine humoral responses and vaccine development : link with inflammatory responses? [PDF]

, 2017
African trypanosomosis is a debilitating disease of great medical and socioeconomical importance. It is caused by strictly extracellular protozoan parasites capable of infecting all vertebrate classes including human, livestock, and game animals.
