Trypanosome Infection in Cattle and Associated Vectors in Etang District of Gambella, Ethiopia

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Background. Bovine trypanosomosis produces significant economic losses due to anemia, loss of body condition, and emaciation. The disease is transmitted biologically by tsetse flies and mechanically by biting flies such as Tabanus and Stomoxys. Therefore, this research is aimed at estimating the prevalence of bovine trypanosomosis and the apparent ...

A Computational Approach to Extinction Events in Chemical Reaction Networks with Discrete State Spaces [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Recent work of M.D. Johnston et al. has produced sufficient conditions on the structure of a chemical reaction network which guarantee that the corresponding discrete state space system exhibits an extinction event. The conditions consist of a series of systems of equalities and inequalities on the edges of a modified reaction network called a ...

Management of trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis [PDF]

, 2012
<p>Background: The current treatments for human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), Chagas disease and leishmaniasis (collectively referred to as the kinetoplastid diseases) are far from ideal but, for some, there has been significant recent progress ...

Scoping Review of Deep Learning Techniques for Diagnosis, Drug Discovery, and Vaccine Development in Leishmaniasis

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Leishmania, a single‐cell parasite prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, can cause varying degrees of leishmaniasis, ranging from self‐limiting skin lesions to potentially fatal visceral complications. As such, the parasite has been the subject of much interest in the scientific community.

6-Methyl-7-deazapurine nucleoside analogues as broad-spectrum antikinetoplastid agents

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2021
Kinetoplastid parasites are the causative agents of Chagas disease (CD), leishmaniasis and human African trypanosomiasis (HAT). Despite a sustained decrease in the number of HAT cases, more efforts are needed to discover safe and effective therapies ...

Quercetin as a Promising Antiprotozoan Phytochemical: Current Knowledge and Future Research Avenues

BioMed Research International, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Despite tremendous advances in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, only few antiparasitic drugs have been developed to date. Protozoan infections such as malaria, leishmaniasis, and trypanosomiasis continue to exact an enormous toll on public health worldwide, underscoring the need to discover novel antiprotozoan drugs. Recently, there

Genome and transcriptome studies of the protozoan parasites Trypanosoma cruzi and Giardia intestinalis [PDF]

arXiv, 2012
Trypanosoma cruzi and Giardia intestinalis are two human pathogens and protozoan parasites responsible for the diseases Chagas disease and giardiasis, respectively. Both diseases cause suffering and illness in several million individuals. The former disease occurs primarily in South America and Central America, and the latter disease occurs worldwide ...

Functional expression of TcoAT1 reveals it to be a P1-type nucleoside transporter with no capacity for diminazene uptake [PDF]

, 2013
It has long been established that the Trypanosoma brucei TbAT1/P2 aminopurine transporter is involved in the uptake of diamidine and arsenical drugs including pentamidine, diminazene aceturate and melarsoprol.
