Novel African trypanocidal agents: membrane rigidifying peptides [PDF]
, 2012 The bloodstream developmental forms of pathogenic African trypanosomes are uniquely susceptible to killing by small hydrophobic peptides. Trypanocidal activity is conferred by peptide hydrophobicity and charge distribution and results from increased ...

African Trypanosomes undermine humoral responses and vaccine development : link with inflammatory responses? [PDF]
, 2017 African trypanosomosis is a debilitating disease of great medical and socioeconomical importance. It is caused by strictly extracellular protozoan parasites capable of infecting all vertebrate classes including human, livestock, and game animals.

An invariant Trypanosoma vivax vaccine antigen induces protective immunity [PDF]
Nature, 2021 Trypanosomes are protozoan parasites that cause infectious diseases, including African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) in humans and nagana in economically important livestock1,2. An effective vaccine against trypanosomes would be an important control tool, but the parasite has evolved sophisticated immunoprotective mechanisms-including antigenic ...

Trypanosoma vivax in Dairy Cattle
Acta Scientiae Veterinariae, 2018 Background: Trypanosoma vivax is a protozoan that causes reproductive disorders and decreased production in domestic and wild ungulate animals. The bovine are the main hosts of the disease and the transmission occurs by the bite of hematophagous insects, mainly tabanids.

MetacyclicTrypanosoma vivaxpossess a surface coat [PDF]
Parasitology, 1986 SUMMARYCoated metacyclics ofTrypanosoma vivaxexist in the hypopharynges of infected tsetse flies and are extruded in low numbers when the flies are induced to probe onto warm slides or into medium. After extensive searching ofT. vivax-infected proboscides, and resort to a process for the examination of single, extruded, metacyclic trypanosomes ...

The trypanosomal transferrin receptor of trypanosoma brucei : a review [PDF]
, 2019 Iron is an essential element for life. Its uptake and utility requires a careful balancing with its toxic capacity, with mammals evolving a safe and bio-viable means of its transport and storage. This transport and storage is also utilized as part of the
