Stage-specific function of sphingolipid synthases in African trypanosomes

mBio
The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei is the only known eukaryote capable of synthesizing the three main phosphosphingolipids: sphingomyelin (SM), inositol phosphorylceramide (IPC), and ethanolamine phosphorylceramide (EPC).

Telomere conversion in trypanosomes

Nucleic Acids Research, 1983
Activation of the gene coding for variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) 118 in Trypanosoma brucei proceeds via a duplicative transposition to a telomeric expression site. The resulting active expression-linked extra copy (ELC) is usually flanked by DNA that lacks sites for most restriction enzymes and that is thought to interfere with the cloning of the ...

Optical trapping reveals propulsion forces, power generation and motility efficiency of the unicellular parasites Trypanosoma brucei brucei [PDF]

, 2014
Unicellular parasites have developed sophisticated swimming mechanisms to survive in a wide range of environments. Cell motility of African trypanosomes, parasites responsible for fatal illness in humans and animals, is crucial both in the insect vector ...

Insight into the exoproteome of the tissue-derived trypomastigote form of Trypanosoma cruzi

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2016
The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi causes Chagas disease, one of the major neglected infectious diseases. It has the potential to infect any nucleated mammalian cell. The secreted/excreted protein repertoire released by T.

Differential expression of immune defences is associated with specific host-parasite interactions in insects [PDF]

, 2009
Recent ecological studies in invertebrates show that the outcome of an infection is dependent on the specific pairing of host and parasite. Such specificity contrasts the long-held view that invertebrate innate immunity depends on a broadspectrum ...

Innate and acquired control of trypanosome parasitaemia in Cape buffalo

, 2013
The review discusses the roles of serum xanthine oxidise serum catalase and trypanosome-specific immune responses in the regulation of the level of trypanosome parasitaemic waves in Cape buffalo.

Experimental evaluation of xenodiagnosis to detect trypanosomes at low parasitaemia levels in infected hosts

Parasite, 2011
In Human African Trypanosomosis (HAT) endemic areas, there are a number of subjects that are positive to serological tests but in whom trypanosomes are difficult to detect with the available parasitological tests.

Kinetoplastid phylogenetics, with special reference to the evolution of parasitic trypanosomes

Parasite, 2008
To fully understand the evolutionary history of parasitic kinetoplastids and to understand the context within which the evolution of each parasite group has developed, an understanding not just of the parasites, but of all kinetoplastids is required ...
