Common pathways and outliers in glucose catabolism across Trypanosomatidae
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Trypanosomatid parasites, including Trypanosoma sp., Leishmania sp., Phytomonas sp., and Vickermania sp., share a common motif: a metabolism built around the glycosome, a unique peroxisome‐derived organelle housing the first steps of glycolysis. Yet, these organisms have evolved remarkably diverse strategies to catabolize glucose, excreting distinct ...

Revised classification of the subfamily Leishmaniinae (Trypanosomatidae) [PDF]
Folia Parasitologica, 2017 In the present study, we critically revised the recently proposed classification of the subfamily Leishmaniinae Maslov et Lukeš in Jirků et al., 2012. Agreeing with erection of the genus Zelonia Shaw, Camargo et Teixeira in Espinosa et al., 2017 and the subgenus Mundinia Shaw, Camargo et Teixeira in Espinosa et al., 2017 within the genus Leishmania ...

Entomological surveillance of Trypanosoma cruzi vectors in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Discontinuous entomological surveillance and persistent infestation by triatomines highlight the risk of Trypanosoma cruzi transmission. The diversity of triatomine species in the peridomicile shows the potential for colonization into the home. The wide distribution of Triatoma brasiliensis and Triatoma pseudomaculata accompanies high rates of ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Entomological and community‐related risk factors for Chagas disease were assessed through peridomestic sampling, calculation of entomological indices and surveys of community knowledge, attitudes and practices. Forty‐six triatomines, all identified as Triatoma pallidipennis, were collected, and all specimens showed natural infection with Trypanosoma ...
