Development of a camelid single-domain antibody-based antigen detection assay for the pan-specific diagnosis of active human and animal Trypanosoma brucei infections [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
Trypanosoma brucei infections cause African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in animals, presenting a significant global health and economic burden, especially in sub-Saharan Africa.

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.

C-Terminal Mutants of Apolipoprotein L-I Efficiently Kill Both Trypanosoma brucei brucei and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2009
Apolipoprotein L-I (apoL1) is a human-specific serum protein that kills Trypanosoma brucei through ionic pore formation in endosomal membranes of the parasite. The T.

Molecular Identification of ABC2 Transporter Gene Encode Protein Ngawi Trypanosoma evansi Isolate that suspected resistance to Isometamidium Chloride [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences, 2021
This study aims to determine the profile of the ABC2 encoding transporter on Trypanosoma evansi (T. evansi) Ngawi isolates, Indonesia, exposed with Isometamidium Chloride (ISM). This study used blood samples of mice containing Trypanosoma evansi that had

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.

Visualisation of experimentally determined and predicted protein N-glycosylation and predicted glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor addition in Trypanosoma brucei. [version 1; peer review: 3 approved]

Wellcome Open Research, 2022
Background: Trypanosoma brucei is a protozoan parasite and the etiological agent of human and animal African trypanosomiasis. The organism cycles between its mammalian host and tsetse vector.

Therapeutic Strategies against Leishmania and Trypanosoma

Pathogens, 2023
Human African trypanosomiasis (also known as sleeping sickness, with Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense as etiological agents), American trypanosomiasis (also known as Chagas disease, with Trypanosoma cruzi as the etiological

The exosome of Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

The EMBO Journal, 2001
The yeast exosome is a complex of at least 10 essential 3'-5' riboexonucleases which is involved in 3'-processing of many RNA species. An exosome-like complex has been found or predicted to exist in other eukaryotes but not in Escherichia coli. The unicellular parasite Trypanosoma brucei diverged very early in eukaryotic evolution.

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.

Transport of  -Aminoisobutyrate into Trypanosoma brucei brucei [PDF]

Microbiology, 1984
The uptake of alpha-aminoisobutyrate (AIB) by washed cell suspensions of bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma brucei brucei has been shown to be an energy-dependent process. No metabolism of AIB was detected under conditions leading to a 100-fold accumulation of AIB within the organism. Kinetic studies revealed that AIB uptake involved two components; that
