Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification for Detection of the 5.8S Ribosomal Ribonucleic Acid Internal Transcribed Spacer 2 Gene Found in Trypanosoma brucei gambiense.

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2017
The loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay with its advantages of cost effectiveness, rapidity, and simplicity, has evolved as a sensitive and specific method for the detection of African trypanosomes.

Comparative Genomics of Glossina palpalis gambiensis and G. morsitans morsitans to Reveal Gene Orthologs Involved in Infection by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Blood-feeding Glossina palpalis gambiense (Gpg) fly transmits the single-celled eukaryotic parasite Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (Tbg), the second Glossina fly African trypanosome pair being Glossina morsitans/T.brucei rhodesiense. Whatever the T. brucei

The burden of human African trypanosomiasis.

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2008
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT, or sleeping sickness) is a protozoan parasitic infection caused by Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense or Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. These are neglected tropical diseases, and T.b. rhodesiense HAT is a zoonosis.

Conserved sequence of the TgsGP gene in Group 1 Trypanosoma brucei gambiense

open access: yesInfection, Genetics and Evolution, 2010
The trypanosome responsible for the majority of cases of human trypanosomiasis in Africa is Group 1 Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. Currently the most reliable test for the parasite is based on a single gene, which encodes a 47kDa receptor-like T. b. gambiense-specific glycoprotein, TgsGP, expressed in the flagellar pocket of bloodstream forms.
