Response of Trypanosoma brucei brucei-induced anaemia to a commercial herbal preparation
®is a herbal preparation made from three medicinal herbs (Parquetina nigrescens, Sorghum bicolor and Harungana madagascariensis). It has been reported to have been successfully used in the treatment of anaemia in humans. A study was therefore carried out

Natural immunity of humans to the cattle pathogen Trypanosoma brucei brucei has been attributed to the presence in normal human serum (NHS) of lytic factors for the parasites.

Tracking autophagy during proliferation and differentiation of trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
Autophagy is a lysosome-dependent degradation mechanism that sequesters target cargo into autophagosomal vesicles. The Trypanosoma brucei genome contains apparent orthologues of several autophagy-related proteins including an ATG8 family. These ubiquitin-

Holistic Investigation of Graphene Quantum Dot Endocytosis
Six chemical endocytosis inhibitors are used to selectively block and analyze preferential uptake pathways of Graphene Quantum Dots (GQDs) in cancerous (HeLa) versus non‐cancerous (HEK‐293) cells via fluorescence microscopy. Contrary to previously perceived singular mechanism for GQD endocytosis, this work suggests that GQDs prefer a combination of ...

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,

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

The ever unfolding story of cAMP signaling in trypanosomatids: vive la difference! [PDF]
Kinetoplastids are unicellular, eukaryotic, flagellated protozoans containing the eponymous kinetoplast. Within this order, the family of trypanosomatids are responsible for some of the most serious human diseases, including Chagas disease (Trypanosoma ...
