Control of sleeping sickness due to Trypanosoma brucei gambiense.
Sleeping sickness due to Trypanosoma brucei gambiense is endemic in 23 African countries and an estimated 45 million people are exposed to infection. The relatively low incidence of the disease (about 10 000 new cases each year) is mainly a result of 50 years of regular medical surveillance and treatment in combination with tsetse control where ...

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

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method for rapid detection of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense [PDF]
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) of DNA is a novel technique that rapidly amplifies target DNA under isothermal conditions. In the present study, a LAMP test was designed from the serum resistance-associated (SRA) gene of Trypanosoma brucei ...
