Consistent detection of Trypanosoma brucei but not T. congolense DNA in faeces of experimentally infected cattle

Scientific Reports
Animal African trypanosomiasis (AAT) is a significant food security and economic burden in sub-Saharan Africa. Current AAT empirical and immunodiagnostic surveillance tools suffer from poor sensitivity and specificity, with blood sampling requiring ...

Artificial intelligence‐powered microscopy: Transforming the landscape of parasitology

Journal of Microscopy, Volume 301, Issue 2, Page 280-329, February 2026.
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

Molecular identification of trypanosome species in trypanotolerant cattle from the south of Gabon

Parasite, 2017
The aim of this study was to provide information on trypanosome species infecting trypanotolerant cattle from southern Gabon. The study was conducted on 224 trypanotolerant cattle from three regions located in southern Gabon, using ITS1 primer-based PCR.

Identification of human-infective trypanosomes in animal reservoir of sleeping sickness in Uganda by means of serum-resistance-associated (SRA) gene.

, 2001
BACKGROUND: The expansion of sleeping sickness caused by Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense beyond its traditional focus in southeast Uganda has been linked with large-scale livestock restocking.

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.

The origins of a new Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense sleeping sickness outbreak in eastern Uganda.

, 2001
BACKGROUND: Sleeping sickness, caused by two trypanosome subspecies, Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, is a parasitic disease transmitted by the tsetse fly in sub-Saharan Africa.

The interaction ofTrypanosoma congolensewith endothelial cells [PDF]

Parasitology, 1994
Factors which affect adhesion of culturedTrypanosoma congolensebloodstream forms to mammalian feeder cells have been examined. Using anin vitrobinding assay, the initial events following interaction of trypanosomes with bovine aorta endothelial (BAE) cells were monitored by both light- and electron microscopy.

Tsetse Fly Detection and Sex Classification Model Enrichment Employing YOLOv8 and YOLO11 Architecture

Applied AI Letters, Volume 6, Issue 3, October 2025.
This study developed an automated Tsetse fly sex identification and classification system using CNN‐driven mobile imaging and compared the performance of YOLOv8 and YOLO11 through a performance matrix and statistical analysis involving paired t‐tests and McNemar's test.

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

Suppressor Cells in Trypanosoma Congolense-Infected Mice

, 1979
Spleen cells from mice infected with T. congolense strongly suppressed lymphocyte stimulation induced in normal spleen cells by incubation with mitogens or allogeneic cells. Cell dilution studies showed that suppressor activity was extremely strong. Suppressor cell activity was markedly reduced by treatment of spleen cell populations with mitomycin-C ...
