Aquaglyceroporin-null trypanosomes display glycerol transport defects and respiratory-inhibitor sensitivity [PDF]
Aquaglyceroporins (AQPs) transport water and glycerol and play important roles in drug-uptake in pathogenic trypanosomatids. For example, AQP2 in the human-infectious African trypanosome, Trypanosoma brucei gambiense, is responsible for melarsoprol and ...

SummaryThree groups of stocks of Trypanosoma brucei ssp, defined by the criteria of host, human serum resistance and place of isolation as T. b. gambiense, T. b. brucei (Nigeria) and T. b. brucei/rhodesiense (non-gambiense, Uganda) were screened for electrophoretic variation at 20 enzyme loci.

Analysis of the proteome and the secretome of animal trypanosomes : a standardized analytical method to look for new molecular targets [PDF]
The causative agents of animal trypanosomosis are various species of protozoan parasites belonging to the genus Trypanosoma, among which T. congolense and T. evansi are the major pathogenic species. The extra cellular position of the trypanosomes implies

An Overview of Trypanosoma brucei Infections: An Intense Host–Parasite Interaction [PDF]
Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and T. brucei gambiense, the causative agents of Human African Trypanosomiasis, are transmitted by tsetse flies. Within the vector, the parasite undergoes through transformations that prepares it to infect the human host ...

Metabolomics guides rational development of a simplified cell culture medium for drug screening against Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
n vitro culture methods underpin many experimental approaches to biology and drug discovery. The modification of established cell culture methods to make them more biologically relevant or to optimize growth is traditionally a laborious task.

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 ...
