Decolonising Parasitology: The Case of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense [PDF]
Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense was named after Rhodesia which, in turn, was named after the British imperialist and white supremacist Cecil Rhodes. In the light of the Black Lives Matter movement and contemporary consciousness of postcolonial legacy, it seems opportune to reconsider the subspecies name. Pros and cons of renaming T. b.

Unravelling the origins of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense
Trends in Parasitology, 2002Sleeping sickness in East Africa is caused by Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, which occurs in discrete foci of disease throughout the distribution range of its tsetse vector. Outbreaks of the disease can be traced to wild game and, in particular, cattle. Both wild game and cattle harbour the human infective T.

Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) Method for Rapid Detection of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense [PDF]
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 African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) is a neglected tropical disease caused by the parasitic protozoan Trypanosoma brucei (T. b.), and affects communities in sub-Saharan Africa. Previously, analogues of a tetrahydroisoquinoline scaffold were reported as having in vitro activity (IC50 = 0.25-70.5 μM) against T. b. rhodesiense. In this study the synthesis

Methionine is an essential amino acid for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms; however, little is known concerning its utilization in African trypanosomes, protozoa of the Trypanosoma brucei group. This study explored the Michaelis-Menten kinetic constants for transport and pool formation as well as metabolic utilization of methionine by two ...

The effect of spiroarsoranes on Trypanosoma brucei brucei and T. b. rhodesiense
Parasitology Research, 1996Topical application and intraperitoneal administration of spiroarsoranes were carried out to cure central nervous system (CNS) trypanosomiasis in the chronic Trypanosoma brucei GVR 35 mouse model. Topical application appeared more efficient than intraperitoneal injection. The periods of aparasitaemia after treatment were longer but none of the mice was
