Identification of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense in naturally infected dogs in Nigeria

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2019
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]

open access: yes, 2017
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

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 968-984, May 2025.
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

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 7, April 1, 2025.
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

open access: yesPROTEOMICS, Volume 25, Issue 8, April 2025.
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.

Reactive oxygen species activate a Ca2+-dependent cell death pathway in the unicellular organism Trypanosoma brucei brucei.

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 1999
Here we examine a cell death process induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the haemoflagellate Trypanosoma brucei brucei. Ca2+ distribution in cellular compartments was measured with stable transformants expressing aequorin targeted to the cytosol,
