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.

The developmental cell biology of Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

, 2005
Trypanosoma brucei provides an excellent system for studies of many aspects of cell biology, including cell structure and morphology, organelle positioning, cell division and protein trafficking. However, the trypanosome has a complex life cycle in which

Spatially and genetically distinct African trypanosome virulence variants defined by host interferon-g response [PDF]

, 2007
We describe 2 spatially distinct foci of human African trypansomiasis in eastern Uganda. The Tororo and Soroti foci of <i>Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense</i> infection were genetically distinct as characterized by 6 microsatellite and 1 ...

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.

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).

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.

A CRISPR-based diagnostic tool to survey drug resistance in human African trypanosomiasis

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy
The World Health Organization aims to eliminate human African trypanosomiasis caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (gHAT) by 2030. With the decline of reported cases, maintaining active surveillance is essential, including for the potential emergence ...

Cytokinesis in trypanosomes

Cytoskeleton, 2012
AbstractCytokinesis is a crucial step in the cell division cycle whereby the cell membrane and underlying cortex is remodelled and drawn together to create two new daughter cells. While in many eukaryotic systems this process is accomplished by an actomyosin contractile ring, the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei displays an unusual mechanism for ...
