Identification of Peptide Mimotopes of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense Variant Surface Glycoproteins

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2011
The current antibody detection tests for the diagnosis of gambiense human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) are based on native variant surface glycoproteins (VSGs) of Trypanosoma brucei (T.b.) gambiense. These native VSGs are difficult to produce, and contain non-specific epitopes that may cause cross-reactions. We aimed to identify mimotopic peptides for

Identification of different trypanosome species in the mid-guts of tsetse flies of the Malanga (Kimpese) sleeping sickness focus of the Democratic Republic of Congo

Parasites & Vectors, 2012
Background The Malanga sleeping sickness focus of the Democratic Republic of Congo has shown an epidemic evolution of disease during the last century. However, following case detection and treatment, the prevalence of the disease decreased considerably ...

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.

Untreated Human Infections by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense Are Not 100% Fatal

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012
El resultado final de la infección por Trypanosoma brucei gambiense, el principal agente de la enfermedad del sueño, siempre se ha considerado invariablemente fatal. Si bien los informes escasos y antiguos han mencionado casos de autocuración en pacientes no tratados, estos estudios sufrieron la falta de herramientas de diagnóstico precisas disponibles

Vector competence of sterile male Glossina fuscipes fuscipes for Trypanosoma brucei brucei: implications for the implementation of the sterile insect technique in a sleeping sickness focus in Chad

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is a neglected tropical disease caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense transmitted by tsetse flies in sub-Saharan West Africa. In southern Chad the most active and persistent focus is the Mandoul focus, with

P-type transport ATPases in Leishmania and Trypanosoma

Parasite, 2019
P-type ATPases are critical to the maintenance and regulation of cellular ion homeostasis and membrane lipid asymmetry due to their ability to move ions and phospholipids against a concentration gradient by utilizing the energy of ATP hydrolysis.

Trypanosoma brucei CYP51: Essentiality and Targeting Therapy in an Experimental Model. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
Trypanosoma brucei gambiense is the main causative agent of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), also known as sleeping sickness. Because of limited alternatives and treatment toxicities, new therapeutic options are urgently needed for patients with HAT.
