The vicious circle and infection intensity: The case of Trypanosoma microti in field vole populations [PDF]
, 2009 Objective: In natural populations, infection and condition may act synergistically to trigger a vicious circle: poor condition predisposes to host infections, which further reduce condition, and so on.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.Findings here show that successional forest predicts greater kissing bug infestation risk in palm trees, whereas native forest predicts lower kissing bug occurrence but greater infection with T. cruzi. These insights can guide land use planning towards vegetation management practices that help minimize T. cruzi transmission risks for rural communities.

Blood Parasites and Wildlife: The Development of a Discipline
Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 2-10, January 2026.Changes in our knowledge on blood parasite infections of wild animals in the last 30 years is reviewed with emphasis on taxonomy and phylogeny, impact of infections on fitness, and distribution of blood parasites. ABSTRACT In the last 30 years, the area of the study of parasitism caused by blood parasite infections on wildlife has suffered an ...

Molecular epidemiology of African sleeping sickness [PDF]
, 2009 Human sleeping sickness in Africa, caused by Trypanosoma brucei spp. raises a number of questions. Despite the widespread distribution of the tsetse vectors and animal trypanosomiasis, human disease is only found in discrete foci which periodically give ...

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 ...

The Sensory Ecology of Tsetse Flies: Neuroscience Perspectives on a Disease Vector
European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 2, January 2026.Tsetse flies (Glossina sp.) are important disease vectors that feed on vertebrate blood. Host‐seeking depends on a combination of sensory systems, from long‐range senses like olfaction and vision, to shorter‐range senses such as audition, mechanosensation, thermosensation and taste.

A preliminary serological study of Trypanosoma evansi and Trypanosoma lewisi in a Chinese human population [PDF]
, 2018 Trypanosoma evansi, known as an animal trypanosome, is widely distributed in many countries of Africa, Asia and South America; it causes significant economic loss in these countries.

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 125, Issue 1, Page 67-79, January 2026.A fully conserved 16mer motif is required in the silent VSG to trigger efficient silencing of the expression site (ES)‐resident VSG and a successful exchange of the VSG coat. ABSTRACT The variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) of African trypanosomes is essential for the survival of bloodstream form parasites.
