Free-ranging pigs identified as a multi-reservoir of Trypanosoma brucei and Trypanosoma congolense in the Vavoua area, a historical sleeping sickness focus of Côte d'Ivoire.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
BackgroundThe existence of an animal reservoir of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (T. b. gambiense), the agent of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), may compromise the interruption of transmission targeted by World Health Organization.

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method for rapid detection of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense [PDF]

, 2008
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 ...

Human infectivity trait in Trypanosoma brucei: stability, heritability and relationship to sra expression [PDF]

, 2004
Some Trypanosoma brucei lines infect humans whereas others do not because the parasites are lysed by human serum. We have developed a robust, quantitative in vitro assay based on differential uptake of fluorescent dyes by live and dead trypanosomes to ...

Exploring Novel Nitrofuryl‐1,3,4‐Thiadiazole‐Based Derivatives: Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of In Vitro Leishmanicidal and Trypanocidal Activity [PDF]

Arch Pharm (Weinheim)
In a series of substituted 1‐[5‐(5‐nitrofuran‐2‐yl)‐1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐yl]piperidine‐4‐carboxamides evaluated for in vitro antileishmanial and antitrypanosomal activity, compound 18 emerged as the most promising derivative, showing submicromolar anti‐parasitic effects targeting diverse Leishmania and Trypanosoma species and acceptable selectivity ...

Trypanosoma brucei aquaglyceroporin 2 is a high-affinity transporter for pentamidine and melaminophenyl arsenic drugs and the main genetic determinant of resistance to these drugs. [PDF]

, 2013
OBJECTIVES: Trypanosoma brucei drug transporters include the TbAT1/P2 aminopurine transporter and the high-affinity pentamidine transporter (HAPT1), but the genetic identity of HAPT1 is unknown. We recently reported that loss of T.

African Trypanosomes undermine humoral responses and vaccine development : link with inflammatory responses? [PDF]

, 2017
African trypanosomosis is a debilitating disease of great medical and socioeconomical importance. It is caused by strictly extracellular protozoan parasites capable of infecting all vertebrate classes including human, livestock, and game animals.

Measure of Molecular Diversity within the Trypanosoma brucei Subspecies Trypanosoma brucei brucei and Trypanosoma brucei gambiense as Revealed by Genotypic Characterization

Experimental Parasitology, 2001
We have evaluated whether sequence polymorphisms in the rRNA intergenic spacer region can be used to study the relatedness of two subspecies of Trypanosoma brucei. Thirteen T. brucei isolates made up of 6 T. b. brucei and 7 T. b. gambiense were analyzed using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP).
