Les glossines de l'agglomération brazzavilloise. III. Rôle vecteur dans les trypanosomoses animales et humaine

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1987
Depuis l'élimination en 1985 des glossines du centre ville de la capitale congolaise, la trypanosomose animale à trypanosoma congolense y a totalement disparu. Cependant, en périphérie Sud de Brazzaville parallélement à l'épizootie à t.

Enzyme polymorphism and the identity of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense

Parasitology, 1987
SUMMARYThirty-two isolates from man in known areas of Gambian trypanosomiasis, in the Sudan, Kenya, Zaire, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Liberia and Senegal, were examined by isoenzyme electrophoresis of 11 enzymes. Comparisons were also made with our previously published results on 23 other stocks of similar origins, which had been examined in ...

Health Benefits and Therapeutic Potential of Quercetin

Journal of Food Biochemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Quercetin, a polyphenolic compound prevalent in many fruits, vegetables, and other dietary sources, has attracted considerable interest due to its extensive health benefits. This review examines its diverse biological properties, particularly its antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory effects. The study integrates recent scientific findings to elucidate the

Impact of long‐term mass‐rearing on the genetic structure of tsetse fly Glossina palpalis gambiensis colonies

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1575-1587, October 2025.
Abstract Tsetse flies are the sole cyclic vectors of African trypanosomes, which cause human and animal African trypanosomiases in Africa. Tsetse fly control remains a promising option for disease management. The sterile insect technique (SIT) stands as an environmentally friendly tool to control tsetse populations.

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.

Cathepsin-L can resist lysis by human serum in Trypanosoma brucei brucei.

PLoS Pathogens, 2014
Closely related African trypanosomes cause lethal diseases but display distinct host ranges. Specifically, Trypanosoma brucei brucei causes nagana in livestock but fails to infect humans, while Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and Trypanosoma brucei ...

Spiroplasma infection in colonized Glossina fuscipes fuscipes: impact on mass rearing and the sterile insect technique

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1761-1776, October 2025.
Abstract Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) can vector the parasites (Trypanosoma spp.) that cause the socioeconomically devastating neglected tropical diseases human and animal African trypanosomoses. In addition to this parasite, tsetse can harbor four genera of endosymbiotic bacteria, including Wigglesworthia, Sodalis, Wolbachia, and Spiroplasma, which ...

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.

Human host determinants influencing the outcome of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense infections [PDF]

Parasite Immunology, 2011
SummarySince first identified, human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) or sleeping sickness has been described as invariably fatal. Increasing data however argue that infection by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense, the causative agent of HAT, results in a wide range of outcomes in its human host and importantly that a number of subjects in endemic areas are ...
