The surface charge of trypanosomatids
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2002 The surface charge of trypanosomatids was evaluated by means of the binding of cationic particles, as visualized by electron microscopy and by direct measurements of the electrophoretic mobility of cells.

Codon usage suggests that translational selection has a major impact on protein expression in trypanosomatids [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2008 Background Different proteins are required in widely different quantities to build a living cell. In most organisms, transcription control makes a major contribution to differential expression. This is not the case in trypanosomatids where most genes are

Mitochondrial translation in trypanosomatids: a novel target for chemotherapy? [PDF]
, 2011 Trypanosomatids cause widespread disease in humans and animals. Treatment of many of these diseases is hampered by the lack of efficient and safe drugs. New strategies for drug development are therefore urgently needed.

Trypanosomatids are common and diverse parasites of Drosophila [PDF]
, 2011 Drosophila melanogaster is an important model system of immunity and parasite resistance, yet most studies use parasites that do not naturally infect this organism.

Iron metabolism in trypanosomatids, and its crucial role in infection. [PDF]
, 2010 Iron is almost ubiquitous in living organisms due to the utility of its redox chemistry. It is also dangerous as it can catalyse the formation of reactive free radicals - a classical double-edged sword.

Current Status of Regulatory Non-Coding RNAs Research in the Tritryp
Non-Coding RNA, 2022 Trypanosomatids are protozoan parasites that cause devastating vector-borne human diseases. Gene expression regulation of these organisms depends on post-transcriptional control in responding to diverse environments while going through multiple ...

Ribosomes from Trypanosomatids: Unique Structural and Functional Properties [PDF]
, 2012 Trypanosomatids are a monophyletic group of protozoa that diverged early from the eukaryotic lineage, constituting valuable model organisms for studying variability in different highly conserved processes including protein synthesis.
