Electrocardiographic changes in African trypanosomiasis caused by Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1975
The electrocardiographic findings in 40 patients with Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense infection are reported. Using rigid diagnostic criteria 7 out of 18 patients (39%) had abnormal electrocardiograms before any form of therapy and 22 of the 40 patients (55%) had abnormal electrocardiograms at some stage of the disease or its treatment.

Nonvariant Antigens Limited to Bloodstream Forms of Trypanosoma brucei brucei and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense¹

The Journal of Protozoology, 1984
ABSTRACT. The presence of nonvariant antigens (NVAs) limited to bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma brucei brucei and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense was demonstrated for the first time by immunodiffusion and Immunoelectrophoresis. Noncloned and cloned populations were employed in preparation of polyclonal antisera in rabbits and of antigens to be used in

Instability of the Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense metacyclic variable antigen repertoire

Nature, 1983
Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense undergoes antigenic variation in its mammalian host by changing the glycoprotein composing its surface coat. Trypanosome clones which have the same repertoire of variable antigen types (VATs) are said to belong to the same serodeme. Tsetse flies infected with a particular serodeme extrude infective metacyclic trypanosomes

Intrathecal cytokine responses in Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense sleeping sickness patients

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2006
Intrathecal cytokine levels and blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier function were studied in 91 Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense-infected patients. The CSF concentration of the cellular immune activation marker neopterin and the cytokines IL-6 and IL-10 were increased over control and post-treatment levels in all patients, with maximal levels ...

Kinetics ofS-Adenosylmethionine Cellular Transport and Protein Methylation inTrypanosoma brucei bruceiandTrypanosoma brucei rhodesiense

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1999
African trypanosomes of the Trypanosoma brucei group are agents of disease in man and animals. They present unique biochemical characteristics such as the need for preformed purines and have extensive salvage mechanisms for nucleoside recovery. In this regard we have shown that trypanosomes have a dedicated transporter for S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet),

A multiplex PCR that discriminates between Trypanosoma brucei brucei and zoonotic T. b. rhodesiense

Experimental Parasitology, 2008
Two subspecies of Trypanosoma brucei s.l. co-exist within the animal populations of Eastern Africa; T. b. brucei a parasite which only infects livestock and wildlife and T. b. rhodesiense a zoonotic parasite which infects domestic livestock, wildlife, and which in humans, results in the disease known as Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) or sleeping ...

Tropical pyomyositis associated with Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense infection in a Europid

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1989
A 29-year-old European woman became infected with Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense in the Luangwa valley, Zambia. Six days after the initial presentation of this infection she developed evidence of tropical pyomyositis (TP). These diseases, both of which are rare in Europids, were satisfactorily treated.
