Identification of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense in naturally infected dogs in Nigeria [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Animal trypanosomosis is endemic in Nigeria, while the human disease caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense is rarely reported nowadays after efforts to bring it under control in the 20th century.

The TgsGP Gene Is Essential for Resistance to Human Serum in Trypanosoma brucei Gambiense [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2013
Trypanosoma brucei gambiense causes 97% of all cases of African sleeping sickness, a fatal disease of sub-Saharan Africa. Most species of trypanosome, such as T. b.

Heme-deficient metabolism and impaired cellular differentiation as an evolutionary trade-off for human infectivity in Trypanosoma brucei gambiense [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2022
Decreased functionality and expression of trypanosome haptoglobin-hemoglobin receptor (HpHbR) is one of the evolutionary modifications that have allowed Trypanosoma brucei gambiense to infect humans. Here, Horakova et al.

Two-Year Follow-Up of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense Serology after Successful Treatment of Human African Trypanosomiasis: Results of Four Different Sero-Diagnostic Tests [PDF]

Diagnostics, 2022
Gambiense human African trypanosomiasis (gHAT), also known as gambiense sleeping sickness, is a parasitic infection caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. During the last decades, gHAT incidence has been brought to an all-time low.

Experimental evidence for pigs as a potential long-term reservoir of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense [PDF]

Parasite
Pigs are suspected to act as a reservoir for Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and may therefore contribute to the re-emergence of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), despite ongoing efforts to eliminate transmission.

Evidence of the absence of human African trypanosomiasis in two northern districts of Uganda: Analyses of cattle, pigs and tsetse flies for the presence of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
BACKGROUND:Large-scale control of sleeping sickness has led to a decline in the number of cases of Gambian human African trypanosomiasis (g-HAT) to

The Genome Sequence of Trypanosoma brucei Gambiense, Causative Agent of Chronic Human African Trypanosomiasis

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010
BackgroundTrypanosoma brucei gambiense is the causative agent of chronic Human African Trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness, a disease endemic across often poor and rural areas of Western and Central Africa.

Differences Between Trypanosoma brucei Gambiense Groups 1 and 2 in Their Resistance to Killing by Trypanolytic Factor 1

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011
BackgroundThe three sub-species of Trypanosoma brucei are important pathogens of sub-Saharan Africa. T. b. brucei is unable to infect humans due to sensitivity to trypanosome lytic factors (TLF) 1 and 2 found in human serum. T. b. rhodesiense and T.

The Study of Trypanosome Species Circulating in Domestic Animals in Two Human African Trypanosomiasis Foci of Côte d'Ivoire Identifies Pigs and Cattle as Potential Reservoirs of Trypanosoma brucei Gambiense

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
BackgroundImportant control efforts have led to a significant reduction of the prevalence of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) in Côte d'Ivoire, but the disease is still present in several foci.
