PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012 Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) is caused by two trypanosome sub-species, Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. Drugs available for the treatment of HAT have significant issues related to difficult administration regimes ...

Association between IL1 gene polymorphism and human African trypanosomiasis in populations of sleeping sickness foci of southern Cameroon. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019 BACKGROUND:Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) is a neglected tropical disease caused by infections due to Trypanosoma brucei subspecies. In addition to the well-established environmental and behavioural risks of becoming infected, there is evidence for ...

Applied Organometallic Chemistry, Volume 40, Issue 7, July 2026.1,2‐Disubstituted ferrocene analogues bearing hydantoin or rhodanine synthons were synthesised and assessed for antitrypanosomatid activity. An antileishmanial early lead, analogue 23, acting through ROS generation and hence oxidative stress, was uncovered.

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract FAD/NAD(P)H‐dependent dehydrogenases form a structurally conserved family of redox enzymes that participate in essential metabolic processes across parasites and higher organisms. Among them, trypanothione reductase (TR) is a key component of the redox metabolism of Leishmania species and represents an attractive target for antileishmanial ...

Histone modifications in Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2007 Several biological processes in Trypanosoma brucei are affected by chromatin structure, including gene expression, cell cycle regulation, and life-cycle stage differentiation. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other organisms, chromatin structure is dependent upon posttranslational modifications of histones, which have been mapped in detail. The tails of

Mass spectrometry proteomics for studying mitostasis
Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Maintaining mitochondrial integrity and function is fundamental to cellular homeostasis. Cells rely on coordinated protein quality control (QC) systems—including intricate chaperone‐protease networks, the ubiquitin‐proteasome system, and cytosolic surveillance pathways—that together form a dynamic, cell‐wide mitostasis network governing the ...

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.A novel polyP‐degrading enzyme with an activity differing from those currently known was found in Haloferax volcanii, conferring the ability for this microbe to grow on extracellular polyP. These findings further our understanding of the potential ecological roles of polyP and how archaea metabolise this essential biopolymer.

Trypanosoma brucei infection protects mice against malaria.
PLoS Pathogens, 2019 Sleeping sickness and malaria are parasitic diseases with overlapping geographical distributions in sub-Saharan Africa. We hypothesized that the immune response elicited by an infection with Trypanosoma brucei, the etiological agent of sleeping sickness,

Synthesis of biotinylated probes of artemisinin for affinity labeling
Data in Brief, 2015 In this data article, we described the synthetic routes to four biotinylated probes (2, 3, 4, and 5) of artemisinin and the associated experimental procedures. We also provided the physical data for the synthesized compounds.
