Cytochrome oxidase subunit VI of Trypanosoma brucei is imported without a cleaved presequence and is developmentally regulated at both RNA and protein levels [PDF]

, 2001
Mitochondrial respiration in the African trypanosome undergoes dramatic developmental stage regulation. This requires co-ordinated control of components encoded by both the nuclear genome and the kinetoplast, the unusual mitochondrial genome of these ...

Giant FAZ10 is required for flagellum attachment zone stabilization and furrow positioning in Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

, 2017
The flagellum and flagellum attachment zone (FAZ) are important cytoskeletal structures in trypanosomatids, being required for motility, cell division and cell morphogenesis.

Measure of Molecular Diversity within the Trypanosoma brucei Subspecies Trypanosoma brucei brucei and Trypanosoma brucei gambiense as Revealed by Genotypic Characterization

Experimental Parasitology, 2001
We have evaluated whether sequence polymorphisms in the rRNA intergenic spacer region can be used to study the relatedness of two subspecies of Trypanosoma brucei. Thirteen T. brucei isolates made up of 6 T. b. brucei and 7 T. b. gambiense were analyzed using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP).

Telomere length in Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

Experimental Parasitology, 2008
Trypanosoma brucei thwarts the host immune response by replacing its variant surface glycoprotein (VSG). The actively transcribed VSG is located in one of approximately 20 telomeric expression sites (ES). Antigenic variation can occur by transcriptional switching, reciprocal translocations, or duplicative gene conversion events among ES or with the ...

Identification of novel components of Trypanosoma brucei editosomes [PDF]

, 2003
The editosome is a multiprotein complex that catalyzes the insertion and deletion of uridylates that occurs during RNA editing in trypanosomatids. We report the identification of nine novel editosome proteins in Trypanosoma brucei.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Characterization of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense variant surface glycoprotein LiTat 1.5 [PDF]

, 2012
At present, all available diagnostic antibody detection tests for Trypanosoma brucei gambiense human African trypanosomiasis are based on predominant variant surface glycoproteins (VSGs), such as VSG LiTat 1.5. During investigations aiming at replacement

Synthesis and Evaluation of the First Generation of Glycosylated Nucleoside Analogues as Potential Inhibitors of the Base J Metabolism in Kinetoplastid Parasites

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Novel analogues of the kinetoplastid‐specific DNA base J unlock a new way to target parasite epigenetic regulation. Some compounds selectively inhibit Leishmania and Trypanosoma species without harming human cells, revealing a promising route toward innovative antiparasitic therapies.

Trypanosoma Brucei Aquaglyceroporins Facilitate the Uptake of Arsenite and Antimonite in a pH Dependent Way

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2013
Background: Trypanosoma brucei is a primitive parasitic protozoan that thrives in diverse environments such as the midgut of the tsetse fly and the blood of a mammalian host.

Equine trypanosomiasis, a systematic review: Disease management

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Equine trypanosomiasis is a neglected protozoal disease. Objectives To answer the study question: In equines what are the effects of disease management of trypanosomiasis on disease severity (individual level) and disease prevalence (population level) compared to no intervention? Study Design Systematic review.
