Q586B2 is a crucial virulence factor during the early stages of Trypanosoma brucei infection that is conserved amongst trypanosomatids

open access: yesNature Communications
Human African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness, caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei, is characterized by the manipulation of the host’s immune response to ensure parasite invasion and persistence. Uncovering key molecules that support

2,4-Bis{4-[(dialkylaminoalkyl)aminomethyl]phenyl}-7-substituted-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine Derivatives: Synthesis and Biological Evaluation as Novel Antiprotozoal Agents by Potentially Targeting G-Quadruplex

open access: yesScientia Pharmaceutica
A series of substituted pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines was designed, synthesized, and evaluated in vitro against two protozoan parasites: Plasmodium falciparum and Trypanosoma brucei brucei.

Blocking Variant Surface Glycoprotein synthesis in Trypanosoma brucei triggers a general arrest in translation initiation

open access: yes, 2009
Background: The African trypanosome Trypanosoma brucei is covered with a dense layer of Variant Surface Glycoprotein (VSG), which protects it from lysis by host complement via the alternative pathway in the mammalian bloodstream.

Distinct roles for two RAD51-related genes in Trypanosoma brucei antigenic variation

open access: yes, 2005
In Trypanosoma brucei, DNA recombination is crucial in antigenic variation, a strategy for evading the mammalian host immune system found in a wide variety of pathogens.

Cholesterol Efflux Decreases TLR4-Target Gene Expression in Cultured Macrophages Exposed to T. brucei Ghosts

open access: yesMicroorganisms
Trypanosoma brucei causes African trypanosomiasis in humans. Infection with T. brucei elicits a potent pro-inflammatory immune response within infected human hosts, and this response is thought to at least be partially due to Toll-like receptor (TLR ...
