Characterization of tubulin genes in Trypanosoma rangeli [PDF]
Tubulin genes in Trypanosoma rangeli, the only trypanosome besides T. cruzi to infect humans in America, are organized in homogeneous, alternate alpha and beta gene tandem repeats of 3.8 kb. The basic repeat was cloned, mapped and partially sequenced.

Chagas disease is a neglected tropical disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. Despite the efforts and distinct methodologies, the search of antigens for diagnosis, vaccine, and drug targets for the disease is still needed. The present study is aimed at identifying possible antigens that could be used for diagnosis, vaccine, and drugs targets

Metalloproteases in Trypanosoma rangeli-infected Rhodnius prolixus [PDF]
Protease activities in the haemolymph and fat body in a bloodsucking insect, Rhodnius prolixus, infected with Trypanosoma rangeli, were investigated. After SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis containing gelatin as substrate, analysis of zymograms performed on samples of different tissues of controls and insects inoculated or orally infected with ...

Karyotype variability in Trypanosoma rangeli
SUMMARYThe molecular karyotypes of several different protozoan parasites show high intra-species variation, including different kinetoplastids such as Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania ssp. In this study, the molecular karyotype of Trypanosoma rangeli was examined.

Molecular and antigenic characterization of Trypanosoma cruzi TolT proteins [PDF]
Background: TolT was originally described as a Trypanosoma cruzi molecule that accumulated on the trypomastigote flagellum bearing similarity to bacterial TolA colicins receptors.

Trypanosoma rangeli (Tejera, 1920): observations upon pleomorphism [PDF]
Meta-trypomastigotes of Trypanosoma rangeli Tejera, 1920, harvested from LIT medium, were inoculated i.p. or s.c. into 6, 16, and 26 g NMRI mice, these representing increasing degrees of immunological maturity. In all cases, similar pleomorphic patterns were observed.

Trypanosoma rangeli sialidase lacks trans-sialidase activity [PDF]
Extracts and tissue culture supernatants of axenic forms of T. rangeli were assayed for the presence of sialidase and trans-sialidase activities. Using sialyl(alpha 2-3)lactose, sialyl(alpha 2-6)lactose, poly(alpha 2-8)N-acetylneuraminic acid, fetuin and 4-methylumbelliferyl-N-acetylneuraminic acid as sialic acid donors, and lactose as a sialic acid ...

Efficacy of common laboratory disinfectants and heat on killing trypanosomatid parasites [PDF]
The disinfectants TriGene, bleach, ethanol and liquid hand soap, and water and temperature were tested for their ability to kill bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma brucei, epimastigotes of Trypanosoma rangeli and promastigotes of Leishmania major.
