Identification of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense in naturally infected dogs in Nigeria
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.

Delineating neuroinflammation, parasite CNS invasion, and blood-brain barrier dysfunction in an experimental murine model of human African trypanosomiasis [PDF]
Although Trypanosoma brucei spp. was first detected by Aldo Castellani in CSF samples taken from sleeping sickness patients over a century ago there is still a great deal of debate surrounding the timing, route and effects of transmigration of the ...

Spatiotemporal Control Over Circadian Rhythms With Light
ABSTRACT Circadian rhythms are endogenous biological oscillators that synchronize internal physiological processes and behaviors with external environmental changes, sustaining homeostasis and health. Disruption of circadian rhythms leads to numerous diseases, including cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, cancer, diabetes, and neurological disorders.

Exploring Aspartate Transcarbamoylase: A Promising Broad‐Spectrum Target for Drug Development
Pyrimidine biosynthesis is a pivotal process shared by both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. This review examines the applications and advantages of a series of inhibitors specifically designed to target aspartate transcarbamylase within the de novo biosynthetic pathway of the malarial parasite.

N‐Glycoproteomics of the Apicomplexan Parasite Toxoplasma gondii
ABSTRACT Protein N‐glycosylation influences protein folding, stability, and trafficking, and has prominent functions in cell–cell adhesion and recognition. For the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, N‐glycosylation of proteins is crucial for initial adhesion to host cells, parasite motility, and consequently, its ability to invade host cells.
