Transport of  -Aminoisobutyrate into Trypanosoma brucei brucei [PDF]

Microbiology, 1984
The uptake of alpha-aminoisobutyrate (AIB) by washed cell suspensions of bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma brucei brucei has been shown to be an energy-dependent process. No metabolism of AIB was detected under conditions leading to a 100-fold accumulation of AIB within the organism. Kinetic studies revealed that AIB uptake involved two components; that

The exosome of Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

The EMBO Journal, 2001
The yeast exosome is a complex of at least 10 essential 3'-5' riboexonucleases which is involved in 3'-processing of many RNA species. An exosome-like complex has been found or predicted to exist in other eukaryotes but not in Escherichia coli. The unicellular parasite Trypanosoma brucei diverged very early in eukaryotic evolution.

Wild chimpanzees are infected by Trypanosoma brucei

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2015
Although wild chimpanzees and other African great apes live in regions endemic for African sleeping sickness, very little is known about their trypanosome infections, mainly due to major difficulties in obtaining their blood samples.

Epidemiology of Trypanosomiasis in Wildlife—Implications for Humans at the Wildlife Interface in Africa

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
While both human and animal trypanosomiasis continue to present as major human and animal public health constraints globally, detailed analyses of trypanosome wildlife reservoir hosts remain sparse.

The individual components of commercial isometamidium do not possess stronger trypanocidal activity than the mixture, nor bypass isometamidium resistance

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2019
The four components present in the trypanocidal treatment Samorin, the commercially available formulation of isometamidium, were separated and purified by column chromatography.

Ribose 5-phosphate isomerase B knockdown compromises Trypanosoma brucei bloodstream form infectivity. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015
Ribose 5-phosphate isomerase is an enzyme involved in the non-oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway, and catalyzes the inter-conversion of D-ribose 5-phosphate and D-ribulose 5-phosphate.
