Molecular identification of trypanosomes in cattle in Malawi using PCR methods and nanopore sequencing: epidemiological implications for the control of human and animal trypanosomiases

Parasite, 2020
This study aimed to identify trypanosomes infecting cattle in Malawi in order to understand the importance of cattle in the transmission dynamics of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) and Animal African Trypanosomosis (AAT).

Trypanosomes at the Gates [PDF]

Science, 2005
L ike many colleagues, I sometimes thought I'd never see the day when three small parasites would be so celebrated. After all, why should people outside of the small cohort of dedicated scientists and sponsors pay any attention to these “Tritryps”— Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma cruzi , and Leishmania major —whose genomes appear in this issue of ...

TbKINX1B: a novel BILBO1 partner and an essential protein in bloodstream form Trypanosoma brucei

Parasite, 2022
The flagellar pocket (FP) of the pathogen Trypanosoma brucei is an important single copy structure that is formed by the invagination of the pellicular membrane.

Flagellar membranes are rich in raft-forming phospholipids

Biology Open, 2015
The observation that the membranes of flagella are enriched in sterols and sphingolipids has led to the hypothesis that flagella might be enriched in raft-forming lipids.

Dynamics of Apis mellifera Filamentous Virus (AmFV) Infections in Honey Bees and Relationships with Other Parasites

Viruses, 2015
Apis mellifera filamentous virus (AmFV) is a large double stranded DNA virus of honey bees, but its relationship with other parasites and prevalence are poorly known.

Structural basis for ligand and innate immunity factor uptake by the trypanosome haptoglobin-haemoglobin receptor

eLife, 2014
The haptoglobin-haemoglobin receptor (HpHbR) of African trypanosomes allows acquisition of haem and provides an uptake route for trypanolytic factor-1, a mediator of innate immunity against trypanosome infection. In this study, we report the structure of

Trypanosome infection rate in Glossina tachinoides: infested rivers of Limmu Kosa District Jimma Zone, Western Ethiopia

BMC Research Notes, 2020
Objective Trypanosomosis is a disease of domestic animals and humans resulting from infection with parasitaemic protozoa of the genus Trypanosoma transmitted primarily by tsetse flies.

Vector-Borne Blood Parasites of the Great-Tailed Grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus) in East-Central Texas, USA

Microorganisms, 2021
Great-tailed grackles (Quiscalus mexicanus) have dramatically expanded into North America over the past century. However, little is known about the blood that parasites they support.

Stumpy forms are the predominant transmissible forms of Trypanosoma brucei

eLife
Schuster et al. demonstrated that bloodstream slender forms of African trypanosomes are readily transmissible to young tsetse flies where they can complete their complex life cycle (Schuster et al., 2021).

Glossina spp. gut bacterial flora and their putative role in fly-hosted trypanosome development

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013
Human African trypanosomiasis is caused by trypanosomes transmitted to humans by the tsetse fly, in which they accomplish their development into their infective metacyclic form. The crucial step in parasite survival occurs when it invades the fly midgut.
