Trypanosomosis: Potential driver of selection in African cattle
Frontiers in Genetics, 2015 Trypanosomosis is a serious cause of reduction in productivity of cattle in tsetse-fly infested areas. Baoule and other local Taurine cattle breeds in Burkina Faso are trypanotolerant.

Giant FAZ10 is required for flagellum attachment zone stabilization and furrow positioning in Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
, 2017 The flagellum and flagellum attachment zone (FAZ) are important cytoskeletal structures in trypanosomatids, being required for motility, cell division and cell morphogenesis.

BioMed Research International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Currently available drugs for trypanosomiasis are few, and their use is limited by toxicity and growing resistance. This highlights the need for safer and more effective alternatives. In this study, the in vitro and in vivo antitrypanosomal activities of an 80% methanol root extract of Lobelia rhynchopetalum and its major constituent were evaluated ...

Immune priming of honey bees protects against a major microsporidian pathogen
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 7939-7949, December 2025.We immune‐primed honey bees at two developmental stages in the laboratory and the field with heat‐killed Nosema ceranae spores. When subsequently fed live spores, immune‐primed adults had lower infection levels. Abstract BACKGROUND Honey bees face significant threats from pathogens like Nosema ceranae, a microsporidian parasite that contributes to ...

Highly divergent apicomplexan cytoskeletons provide additional models for actin biology
The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 24, Page 6459-6480, December 2025.Actin is a highly conserved, abundant and central molecule in eukaryotes. Apicomplexans contain some of the most sequence‐divergent actin cytoskeletons known. This divergence results in overlapping yet different biochemical properties. Here, we highlight the remarkable divergence of the actin cytoskeleton by comparing apicomplexan to classical systems,

Perspectives on the Trypanosoma cruzi-host cell receptor interaction [PDF]
, 2009 Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. The critical initial event is the interaction of the trypomastigote form of the parasite with host receptors. This review highlights recent observations concerning these interactions.
