Evolutionary diversification of the trypanosome haptoglobin-haemoglobin receptor from an ancestral haemoglobin receptor

eLife, 2016
The haptoglobin-haemoglobin receptor of the African trypanosome species, Trypanosoma brucei, is expressed when the parasite is in the bloodstream of the mammalian host, allowing it to acquire haem through the uptake of haptoglobin-haemoglobin complexes ...

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 5, Page 591-611, March 2026.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Frequency and diversity of trypanosomes in sheep and goats from Mongo County in South Gabon, Central Africa [PDF]

Veterinary World, 2020
Background and Aim: Trypanosomosis is a major impediment to livestock farming in sub-Saharan Africa. It is a vector-borne disease caused by several species of protozoan parasites, namely, trypanosomes. The present study aimed to identify the diversity of

Integrated control of vector-borne diseases of livestock--pyrethroids: panacea or poison?

, 2003
Tick- and tsetse-borne diseases cost Africa approximately US$4-5 billion per year in livestock production-associated losses. The use of pyrethroid-treated cattle to control ticks and tsetse promises to be an increasingly important tool to counter this ...

Exploring Novel Nitrofuryl‐1,3,4‐Thiadiazole‐Based Derivatives: Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of In Vitro Leishmanicidal and Trypanocidal Activity

Archiv der Pharmazie, Volume 359, Issue 3, March 2026.
In a series of substituted 1‐[5‐(5‐nitrofuran‐2‐yl)‐1,3,4‐thiadiazol‐2‐yl]piperidine‐4‐carboxamides evaluated for in vitro antileishmanial and antitrypanosomal activity, compound 18 emerged as the most promising derivative, showing submicromolar anti‐parasitic effects targeting diverse Leishmania and Trypanosoma species and acceptable selectivity ...

Analysis of the proteome and the secretome of animal trypanosomes : a standardized analytical method to look for new molecular targets [PDF]

, 2007
The causative agents of animal trypanosomosis are various species of protozoan parasites belonging to the genus Trypanosoma, among which T. congolense and T. evansi are the major pathogenic species. The extra cellular position of the trypanosomes implies

Stunning Intricacies of RNA Editing Complexes RECC, RESC, and REH2C: Functional Organization, Developmental Regulation, and Evolutionary History in Kinetoplastid Protists

WIREs RNA, Volume 17, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
U‐indel RNA editing targets mRNA:gRNA duplexes through three key complexes that collectively govern assembly, specificity, catalysis, and developmental regulation. Modern tools, including artificial intelligence, analyze the organization, dynamics, and evolution of the remarkable holo‐editosome, opening new avenues in RNA biology and therapy.
