The Structure of a Conserved Telomeric Region Associated with Variant Antigen Loci in the Blood Parasite Trypanosoma congolense. [PDF]

Genome Biol Evol, 2018
African trypanosomiasis is a vector-borne disease of humans and livestock caused by African trypanosomes (Trypanosoma spp.). Survival in the vertebrate bloodstream depends on antigenic variation of Variant Surface Glycoproteins (VSGs) coating the ...

An alternative approach to detect Trypanosoma in Glossina (Diptera, Glossinidae) without dissection

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2008
Background: Determining if a tsetse fly is infected by trypanosomes and thus potentially able to transmit trypanosome-related human and animal diseases is an extremely laborious and time-consuming task to perform, especially under field conditions.

Genomic analysis of Isometamidium Chloride resistance in Trypanosoma congolense. [PDF]

Int J Parasitol Drugs Drug Resist, 2017
Isometamidium Chloride (ISM) is one of the principal drugs used to counteract Trypanosoma congolense infection in livestock, both as a prophylactic as well as a curative treatment. However, numerous cases of ISM resistance have been reported in different

Antigenic diversity is generated by distinct evolutionary mechanisms in African trypanosome species [PDF]

, 2012
Antigenic variation enables pathogens to avoid the host immune response by continual switching of surface proteins. The protozoan blood parasite Trypanosoma brucei causes human African trypanosomiasis ("sleeping sickness") across sub-Saharan Africa and ...

Population genetics of forest type of Trypanosoma congolense circulating in Glossina palpalis palpalis of Fontem in the South-West region of Cameroon

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Genetic variation of microsatellite loci is a widely used method for the analysis of population genetic structure of several organisms. To improve our knowledge on the population genetics of trypanosomes, Trypanosoma congolense forest and ...

Extraordinary Trypanosoma cruzi diversity within single mammalian reservoir hosts implies a mechanism of diversifying selection. [PDF]

, 2011
Trypanosoma cruzi is an evolutionarily ancient parasitic protozoan endemic to the Americas. Multiple genetic and phenotypic markers indicate that this parasite is highly diverse, with several divergent and discrete major genotypes reported.

Recherches sur la biologie de Trypanosoma congolense Broden 1904. II. Isolement et entretien de souches "sauvages" sur milieu de culture monophasique solide au sang total de zébu

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1967
L'auteur propose la préparation et l'emploi d'un milieu gélosé contenant 15 p. 100 de sang total de veau zébu. Il s'agit essentiellement d'une phase solide sur laquelle un artifice de manipulation permet d'entretenir Trypanosoma congolense. Ce milieu est
