A panel of Trypanosoma brucei strains tagged with blue and red-shifted luciferases for bioluminescent imaging in murine infection models. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
BACKGROUND:Genetic engineering with luciferase reporter genes allows monitoring Trypanosoma brucei (T.b.) infections in mice by in vivo bioluminescence imaging (BLI). Until recently, luminescent T.b.

Exploration of Novel “Ferroxazide/Ferrazone” Derivatives as Antitrypanosomatid Agents: Design, Synthesis, and Biological Efficacy

Applied Organometallic Chemistry, Volume 39, Issue 1, January 2025.
A series of novel ferrocene derivatives, mimics of the clinical antibiotics, nifuroxazide and nitrofurazone, termed ferroxazides and ferrazones, respectively, were synthesized and evaluated for antitrypanosomatid activities. The ferroxazide 15 bearing dimethylamino moiety was identified in vitro as hit against Trypanosoma congolense strain but ...

Apolipoprotein L1 Variant Associated with Increased Susceptibility to Trypanosome Infection

mBio, 2016
African trypanosomes, except Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, which cause human African trypanosomiasis, are lysed by the human serum protein apolipoprotein L1 (ApoL1).

Diagnostic accuracy of loopamp Trypanosoma brucei detection kit for diagnosis of human African trypanosomiasis in clinical samples. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2013
BACKGROUND: Molecular methods have great potential for sensitive parasite detection in the diagnosis of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), but the requirements in terms of laboratory infrastructure limit their use to reference centres.

Neglected Tropical Diseases and Female Infertility: Possible Pathophysiological Mechanisms

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Battling female infertility has posed a global challenge, where neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are nonetheless a notable contributing factor. NTDs affect a variety of diseases, often of a chronic nature, which are often cited as some of the most lethal diseases operating against the most economically disadvantaged populations across the globe.

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.

Case of Nigeria-Acquired Human African Trypanosomiasis in United Kingdom, 2016

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
Human African trypanosomiasis has not been reported in Nigeria since 2012. Nevertheless, limitations of current surveillance programs mean that undetected infections may persist.

ESI MS Studies of T. Brucei Trypanothione Reductase and its Reactions With Selected Metal Compounds

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, Volume 27, Issue 36, December 20, 2024.
The study investigates the interactions between Trypanothione reductase from Trypanosoma brucei (TbTR) and selected metal compounds using ESI‐MS measurements. The findings describe how these compounds bind to TbTR, highlighting their potential as novel anti‐parasitic agents by targeting this crucial enzyme, which is essential for the parasite's ...

Kinetoplastids:related protozoan pathogens, different diseases [PDF]

, 2008
Kinetoplastids are a group of flagellated protozoans that include the species Trypanosoma and Leishmania, which are human pathogens with devastating health and economic effects. The sequencing of the genomes of some of these species has highlighted their

Potential Trypanocidal Activity of Glycerol Analogues

ChemistryOpen, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2024.
Trypanosoma brucei is a unicellular parasitic flagellate protozoa causing human African trypanosomiasis and animal African trypanosomiasis. Synthesised glycerol analogues were tested for their potential trypanocidal affects. They caused morphological changes, including detached flagella, cytokinesis defects and ‘big‐eye’ phenotype.
