Comparative SILAC proteomic analysis of Trypanosoma brucei bloodstream and procyclic lifecycle stages [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei has a complex digenetic lifecycle between a mammalian host and an insect vector, and adaption of its proteome between lifecycle stages is essential to its survival and virulence. We have optimized a procedure for

Autoimmunity to phosphatidylserine and anemia in African Trypanosome infections.

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
Anemia caused by trypanosome infection is poorly understood. Autoimmunity during Trypanosoma brucei infection was proposed to have a role during anemia, but the mechanisms involved during this pathology have not been elucidated. In mouse models and human

Antigenic variation in Trypanosoma brucei: joining the DOTs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
African trypanosomes, such as <i>Trypanosoma brucei</i>, are protistan parasites that cause sleeping sickness. Though first described more than a century ago, trypanosomes remain a blight on the health of the human population and on the ...

The lysis of Trypanosoma brucei brucei by human serum [PDF]

open access: yesNature Biotechnology, 1996
The natural immunity of humans to the cattle pathogen Trypanosoma brucei brucei, but not to the morphologically indistinguishable human pathogens T. brucei gambiense and T. brucei rhodesiense, is due to the selective killing of the parasite by normal human serum. The factor in human serum that mediates lysis of T. brucei brucei has long been attributed

Chimerization at the AQP2–AQP3 locus is the genetic basis of melarsoprol–pentamidine cross-resistance in clinical Trypanosoma brucei gambiense isolates

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2015
Aquaglyceroporin-2 is a known determinant of melarsoprol–pentamidine cross-resistance in Trypanosoma brucei brucei laboratory strains. Recently, chimerization at the AQP2–AQP3 tandem locus was described from melarsoprol–pentamidine cross-resistant ...

Galactose starvation in a bloodstream form Trypanosoma brucei UDP-glucose 4'-epimerase conditional null mutant [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Galactose metabolism is essential for the survival of Trypanosoma brucei, the etiological agent of African sleeping sickness. T. brucei hexose transporters are unable to transport galactose, which is instead obtained through the epimerization of UDP ...

Utilisation des glucides et de leurs produits de métabolisme par Trypanosoma evansi et Trypanosoma brucei

open access: yesRevue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1964
Après avoir rappelé brièvement les connaissances actuelles sur le métabolisme glucidique de Trypanosoma evansi et Trypanosoma brucei, l'auteur expose les résultats obtenus par deux méthodes originales.

Raman spectroscopic analysis of skin as a diagnostic tool for Human African Trypanosomiasis.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2021
Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) has been responsible for several deadly epidemics throughout the 20th century, but a renewed commitment to disease control has significantly reduced new cases and motivated a target for the elimination of Trypanosoma ...

Anti-trypanosomal activity and DNA fingerprinting of fifteen Euphorbia species using ISSR and SCoT markers

open access: yesBeni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 2021
Background Euphorbia is the largest genus in family Euphorbiaceae with a great biological and genetic diversity. The anti-trypanosomal activity of the crude extract of 15 Euphorbia species against Trypanosoma brucei brucei was carried out.

Expression of procyclin mRNAs during cyclical transmission of Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
<i>Trypanosoma brucei</i>, the parasite causing human sleeping sickness, relies on the tsetse fly for its transmission. In the insect, EP and GPEET procyclins are the major surface glycoproteins of procyclic (midgut) forms of the parasite ...
