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

A systematic review and meta-analysis of trypanosome prevalence in tsetse flies [PDF]

, 2017
Background: The optimisation of trypanosomosis control programs warrants a good knowledge of the main vector of animal and human trypanosomes in sub-Saharan Africa, the tsetse fly.

The structural, functional, and therapeutic potential of metacaspases in fungi and protozoa

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Metacaspases are Ca2+‐dependent cysteine proteases whose structural characteristics, particularly calcium binding and autocatalytic processing, govern their activation and biological functions. These enzymes differ among microorganisms and regulate their cell cycles, making them excellent targets for drug development.

In vitro Anti-trypanosomal Activity of Ethanolic and n-Hexane Extracts of Hymenocardia acida Stem Bark against Trypanosoma brucei brucei and Trypanosoma congolense

UMYU Journal of Microbiology Research
The development of resistance by trypanosomes to existing trypanocidal drugs necessitates the need to search for safer and more effective alternative drugs with a broad spectrum of activity.

Artificial intelligence‐powered microscopy: Transforming the landscape of parasitology

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Microscopy and image analysis play a vital role in parasitology research; they are critical for identifying parasitic organisms and elucidating their complex life cycles. Despite major advancements in imaging and analysis, several challenges remain. These include the integration of interdisciplinary data; information derived from various model

Comparative evaluation of the attractiveness of new polyethylene screens versus West African tiny target for the control of tsetse flies

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The material has no significant difference in captures (non‐shiny cotton‐polyester screens vs. the shiny polyethylene screens), but the vertical screen attracted significantly more G. tachinoides for each type of material. Full white horizontal screen was significantly lower than the reference WATT.

Immune Depression in Trypanosoma Congolense-Infected Mice

, 1979
The capacity of spleen cells from Trypanosoma congolense-infected mice to respond to the mitogens concanavalin A and bacterial lipopolysaccharide and to allogeneic lymphocytes is severely depressed or abolished. Moreover these cells cannot serve as stimulators of DNA synthesis in mixed lymphocyte reactions.

The Dual Role of the 16mer Motif Within the 3′ Untranslated Region of the Variant Surface Glycoprotein of Trypanosoma brucei

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 125, Issue 1, Page 67-79, January 2026.
A fully conserved 16mer motif is required in the silent VSG to trigger efficient silencing of the expression site (ES)‐resident VSG and a successful exchange of the VSG coat. ABSTRACT The variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) of African trypanosomes is essential for the survival of bloodstream form parasites.
