Survival of Trypanosoma brucei brucei in cerebrospinal fluid

Annals of Tropical Medicine & Parasitology, 1992
Different compositions of artificial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the CSF from sleeping sickness patients both with and without late-stage [i.e. central nervous system (CNS)] involvement were evaluated for their abilities to support survival of Trypanosoma brucei brucei.

Characterization of spermidine synthase from Trypanosoma brucei brucei

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1984
Spermidine synthase from Trypanosoma brucei brucei was characterized and found to be similar to spermidine synthase from other sources. The Km for putrescine was found to be 0.2 mM and the Km for decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine 0.1 microM. The approximate molecular weight of the enzyme was 74 000 as determined by a combination of molecular sieve ...

Pathomorphological Changes in Trypanosoma brucei brucei Infection in the Rabbit

Zentralblatt für Veterinärmedizin Reihe B, 2010
Summary In the course of Trypanosoma bracei-stabilate EATRO 1066-infection in the rabbit three stages can be distinguished: 1. An initial stage at the time of the first temperature peak, characterized by beginning lymphoid hyperplasia in the follicles, lymphoid depletion in the thymus and thymus-dependent areas of the spleen and some lymph ...

Gonadotropic dysfunction produced by Trypanosoma brucei brucei in the rat

Acta Tropica, 1990
Hormonal disorders have been frequently observed in humans and animals infected with tsetse-transmitted (African) trypanosomes. We studied the pituitary gonadal axis (plasma concentrations of testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and the pituitary gonadotropin (LH, FSH) concentrations) in rats as an experimental ...

A successful backcross in Trypanosoma brucei

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1995
Genetic exchange can take place between different strains of Trypanosoma brucei ssp. when they are cotransmitted via the tsetse fly vector, but the mechanism and limits of compatibility between strains are ill-defined as yet. Following the recovery of several hybrid genotypes with single drug resistance from a cross of drug resistant parental strains ...

Trypanosoma brucei brucei: Uptake and Metabolism of Pyridoxine and Pyridoxal

Experimental Parasitology, 1995
The uptake and metabolism of the B6 vitamers pyridoxine and pyridoxal by T. brucei (TREU 55) was investigated. The results show that these vitamers are taken up by simple diffusion followed by metabolic trapping. Both pyridoxine and pyridoxal were found to be metabolised to pyridoxal phosphate in whole cells.

Nonvariant antigens limited to bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma brucei brucei and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense.

The Journal of protozoology, 1985
The presence of nonvariant antigens (NVAs) limited to bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma brucei brucei and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense was demonstrated for the first time by immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoresis. Noncloned and cloned populations were employed in preparation of polyclonal antisera in rabbits and of antigens to be used in the ...
