Molecular evidence of a Trypanosoma brucei gambiense sylvatic cycle in the human african trypanosomiasis foci of Equatorial Guinea

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Gambiense trypanosomiasis is considered an anthroponotic disease. Consequently, control programs are generally aimed at stopping transmission of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (T. b. gambiense) by detecting and treating human cases.

The use of Multiple Displacement Amplification to increase the detection and genotyping of Trypanosoma samples immobilised on FTA filters. [PDF]

, 2007
Whole genome amplification methods are a recently developed tool for amplifying DNA from limited template. We report its application in trypanosome infections, characterized by low parasitemias.

VSGs Expressed during Natural T. b. gambiense Infection Exhibit Extensive Sequence Divergence and a Subspecies-Specific Bias towards Type B N-Terminal Domains

mBio, 2022
Trypanosoma brucei gambiense is the primary causative agent of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), a vector-borne disease endemic to West and Central Africa.

Therapeutic Strategies against Leishmania and Trypanosoma

Pathogens, 2023
Human African trypanosomiasis (also known as sleeping sickness, with Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense as etiological agents), American trypanosomiasis (also known as Chagas disease, with Trypanosoma cruzi as the etiological

Raman spectroscopic analysis of skin as a diagnostic tool for Human African Trypanosomiasis.

PLoS Pathogens, 2021
Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) has been responsible for several deadly epidemics throughout the 20th century, but a renewed commitment to disease control has significantly reduced new cases and motivated a target for the elimination of Trypanosoma ...

Tracking autophagy during proliferation and differentiation of Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

, 2014
Autophagy is a lysosome-dependent degradation mechanism that sequesters target cargo into autophagosomal vesicles. The Trypanosoma brucei genome contains apparent orthologues of several autophagy-related proteins including an ATG8 family. These ubiquitin-

Molecular Identification of ABC2 Transporter Gene Encode Protein Ngawi Trypanosoma evansi Isolate that suspected resistance to Isometamidium Chloride [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences, 2021
This study aims to determine the profile of the ABC2 encoding transporter on Trypanosoma evansi (T. evansi) Ngawi isolates, Indonesia, exposed with Isometamidium Chloride (ISM). This study used blood samples of mice containing Trypanosoma evansi that had

Epidemiology of Trypanosomiasis in Wildlife—Implications for Humans at the Wildlife Interface in Africa

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
While both human and animal trypanosomiasis continue to present as major human and animal public health constraints globally, detailed analyses of trypanosome wildlife reservoir hosts remain sparse.

Association between IL1 gene polymorphism and human African trypanosomiasis in populations of sleeping sickness foci of southern Cameroon. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
BACKGROUND:Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) is a neglected tropical disease caused by infections due to Trypanosoma brucei subspecies. In addition to the well-established environmental and behavioural risks of becoming infected, there is evidence for ...

Luminescent multiplex viability assay for Trypanosoma brucei gambiense [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2013
New compounds for the treatment of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) are urgently required. Trypanosoma brucei (T.b.) gambiense is the leading cause of HAT, yet T.b. gambiense is often not the prime target organism in drug discovery. This may be attributed to the difficulties in handling this subspecies and the lack of an efficient viability assay to
