Seasonal Dynamics and Associated Risk Factors of Bovine Trypanosomosis and Its Vector in Selected Districts of Gamo and Gofa Zones, Southern Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
The median PCV of poor body‐conditioned animals is below 20 (anaemic) compared to corresponding body‐condition animals. Black‐ and red‐coloured animals are more significantly affected by trypanosomosis than white‐coloured animals. Multivariable logistic regression revealed more about contributory factors than univariable logistic regression.

Determination of the prevalence of African trypanosome species in indigenous dogs of Mambwe district, eastern Zambia, by loop-mediated isothermal amplification

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Dogs have been implicated to serve as links for parasite exchange between livestock and humans and remain an important source of emerging and re-emerging diseases including trypanosome infections.

Control of Human African Trypanosomiasis in the Nola‐Bilolo Focus, Central African Republic, 2020–2024: Outcome of Capacity Building, Improved Diagnosis and Treatment

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study is aimed at evaluating the inclusion of miniature anion‐exchange centrifugation technique (mAECT) in the diagnosis and fexinidazole as treatment of gHAT in Central African Republic (CAR) after capacity building. A cross‐sectional pilot study was conducted during a mass diagnostic campaign from 16 September to 22 October 2022 in Nola‐Bilolo ...

Phagocytosis of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense by peritoneal macrophages: a study by scanning electronmicroscopy [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1983
Phagocytosis of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense by peritoneal macrophages takes place by seizure of the trypomastigote by either end but usually by the anterior. A lamellar sheath similar to that seen in phagocytosis of the promastigote of Leishmania is observed, but it is smaller and does not proceed to envelop the living parasite.

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.

Evaluation of two candidate molecules—TCTP and cecropin—on the establishment of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense into the gut of Glossina palpalis gambiensis

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1747-1760, October 2025.
This study investigates the potential of enhancing the resistance of Glossina palpalis gambiensis to Trypanosoma brucei gambiense to mitigate the transmission of Human African Trypanosomiasis. We successfully cloned genes encoding proteins of interest in Sodalis strains, resulting in recombinant Sodalis (recSodalis) that were micro‐injected into the L3

Reanalyzing the 1900–1920 Sleeping Sickness Epidemic in Uganda

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
Sleeping sickness has long been a major public health problem in Uganda. From 1900 to 1920, more than 250,000 people died in an epidemic that affected the southern part of the country, particularly the Busoga region.

The effect of immune inhibition on pleomorphism in Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense

Parasitology, 1974
The effect of immune inhibition on the pleomorphism of Trypanosoma brucei was studied by counting trypomastigotes and their granules on agar. A statistical analysis is presented. Busulphan 32 mg/kg, given 24 h before inoculation, caused an inhibition of the infection detectable at 72 h, but not thereafter.

Potential of entomopathogenic fungi for Glossina austeni control: insights into microbiome alterations and implications on sustainable management of the pest

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1691-1712, October 2025.
Abstract Glossina austeni Newstead (Diptera: Glossinidae) is a competent vector of the trypanosomes causing human African trypanosomiasis and the African animal trypanosomosis. Management of this pest has primarily involved trapping methods, Sterile Insect Technique, and research into vector competence–symbiotic interactions.

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 ...
