Hepatocyte-derived IL-10 plays a crucial role in attenuating pathogenicity during the chronic phase of T. congolense infection [PDF]
, 2020 Bovine African Trypanosomosis is an infectious parasitic disease affecting livestock productivity and thereby impairing the economic development of Sub-Saharan Africa. The most important trypanosome species implicated is T.

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.

Metatranscriptomic analyses of honey bee colonies
Frontiers in Genetics, 2015 Honey bees face numerous biotic threats from viruses to bacteria, fungi, protists, and mites. Here we describe a thorough analysis of microbes harbored by worker honey bees collected from field colonies in geographically distinct regions of Turkey ...

Antigenic variation in the African trypanosome: molecular mechanisms and phenotypic complexity [PDF]
, 2009 Antigenic variation is an immune evasion strategy that has evolved in viral, bacterial and protistan pathogens. In the African trypanosome this involves stochastic switches in the composition of a variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) coat, using a massive ...

Updated results on atypical human trypanosomoses caused by animal trypanosomes [PDF]
, 2016 There are only two classical human forms of trypanosomoses, they are sleeping sickness in Africa (Trypanosoma brucei spp.) and Chagas' disease (T. cruzi) mainly in South America respectively.

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 ...

How Does the VSG Coat of Bloodstream Form African Trypanosomes Interact with External Proteins?
PLoS Pathogens, 2015 Variations on the statement “the variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) coat that covers the external face of the mammalian bloodstream form of Trypanosoma brucei acts a physical barrier” appear regularly in research articles and reviews.
