Phenylalanine metabolism in Microtus montanus chronically infected with Trypanosoma brucei gambiense

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1982
1. Alterations in phenylalanine metabolism were observed in Microtus montanus infected with Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. 2. Reductions were found in the incorporation of phenylalanine into free amino acid pools and into proteins of the liver and other organs of infected animals. 3.

Efficacy and toxicity of eflornithine for treatment of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense sleeping sickness

The Lancet, 1992
The usual first-line treatment for Trypanosoma brucei gambiense sleeping sickness is melarsoprol, but when that fails the outlook has hitherto been grim. The polyamine synthesis inhibitor eflornithine (difluoromethylornithine, DFMO) has emerged as an alternative therapy. 207 patients with late-stage T b gambiense sleeping sickness were treated in rural

Epidemiological evidence for immunity following Trypanosoma brucei gambiense sleeping sickness

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1995
In order to investigate whether protective immunity appears after Trypanosoma brucei gambiense sleeping sickness, we undertook a retrospective cohort study of 3 remote villages in central Zaire (total population 1431), in which 38% of all adults had a past history of human African trypanosomiasis.

[New perspectives in the epidemiology of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense trypanosomiasis].

Bulletin de la Societe de pathologie exotique et de ses filiales, 1986
After a quick survey of the latest techniques likely to improve our knowledge of T. brucei gambiense trypanosomiasis, the authors identify the problems set by field epidemiology, the understanding of which is a condition for the development of an appropriate control strategy.

Mechanism of lysis of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense by human serum.

The Journal of parasitology, 1995
Resistance to lysis by human serum (HS) is an important parameter used to distinguish Trypanosoma brucei brucei from both Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. Neither the exact nature of the trypanolytic factor (TLF) nor the mechanism of action by which HS lyses susceptible trypanosomes is well understood.

[Importance of familial contamination in Trypanosoma brucei gambiense trypanosomiasis].

Bulletin de la Societe de pathologie exotique et de ses filiales, 1982
Referring to the sociological structure of the family in the Bateke ethnic group which most of the inhabitants of Kwamouth (Bandundu region, Zaïre) are descendants, the author defines the concept to family contamination in trypanosomiasis induced by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense.
