ABSTRACT Plant extracts are an important raw material for the development of new drugs. Rumex obtusifolius L., popularly known as ‘bitter dock’, has significant pharmacological properties. This study evaluated the in vitro antitrypanosomal activity of aqueous, hydroethanolic and ethanolic extracts from the leaf and roots of R. obtusifolius L.

Allelic segregation and independent assortment in T. brucei crosses: proof that the genetic system is Mendelian and involves meiosis [PDF]
The genetic system on Trypanosoma brucei has been analysed by generating large numbers of independent progeny clones from two crosses, one between two cloned isolates of Trypanosoma brucei brucei and one between cloned isolates of T. b.

Trypanosoma brucei infection protects mice against malaria.
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,

Serum lipoprotein and Trypanosoma brucei brucei interactions in vitro
Trypanosoma brucei brucei IL3201 and IL3202, which are dependent on serum high or low-density lipoproteins to multiply under axenic culture conditions, acquired lipoprotein-associated 3H-lipids without binding, accumulating or degrading apolipoproteins. Uptake by the T. b.

Computer-aided identification of Trypanosoma brucei uridine diphosphate galactose 4'-epimerase inhibitors : toward the development of novel therapies for African sleeping sickness [PDF]
Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of human African trypanosomiasis, affects tens of thousands of sub-Saharan Africans. As current therapeutics are inadequate due to toxic side effects, drug resistance, and limited effectiveness, novel therapies are

Regulation of Trypanosoma brucei Total and Polysomal mRNA during Development within Its Mammalian Host [PDF]
The gene expression of Trypanosoma brucei has been examined extensively in the blood of mammalian hosts and in forms found in the midgut of its arthropod vector, the tsetse fly.

Autophagic-related cell death of Trypanosoma brucei induced by bacteriocin AS-48
The parasitic protozoan Trypanosoma brucei is the causative agent of human African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) and nagana. Current drug therapies have limited efficacy, high toxicity and/or are continually hampered by the appearance of resistance.

Biochemical characterization of the initial steps of the Kennedy pathway in Trypanosoma brucei : the ethanolamine and choline kinases [PDF]
Note related output below contains correction of this paper.Ethanolamine and choline are major components of the trypanosome membrane phospholipids, in the form of GPEtn (glycero-phosphoethanolamine) and GPCho (glycerophosphocholine).
