Electron microscopy of trypanosomes: a historical view
Since the discovery of the electron microscope and the development of the initial techniques for the processing of biological samples for electron microscopy, the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi has been the subject of intense investigation.

Trypanosoma irwini n. sp (Sarcomastigophora: Trypanosomatidae) from the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) [PDF]
The morphology and genetic characterization of a new species of trypanosome infecting koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) are described. Morphological analysis of bloodstream forms and phylogenetic analysis at the 18S rDNA and gGAPDH loci demonstrated this ...

Druggable Sterol Metabolizing Enzymes in Infectious Diseases: Cell Targets to Therapeutic Leads
Sterol biosynthesis via the mevalonate-isoprenoid pathway produces ergosterol (24β-methyl cholesta-5,7-dienol) necessary for growth in a wide-range of eukaryotic pathogenic organisms in eukaryotes, including the fungi, trypanosomes and amoebae, while ...

Microfluidics-Based Approaches to the Isolation of African Trypanosomes
African trypanosomes are responsible for significant levels of disease in both humans and animals. The protozoan parasites are free-living flagellates, usually transmitted by arthropod vectors, including the tsetse fly. In the mammalian host they live in

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method for rapid detection of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense [PDF]
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) of DNA is a novel technique that rapidly amplifies target DNA under isothermal conditions. In the present study, a LAMP test was designed from the serum resistance-associated (SRA) gene of Trypanosoma brucei ...

FLUORESCENCE MICROSCOPE EXAMINATION OF TRYPANOSOMES IN BLOOD
With acridinorange it is possible to stain selectively trypanosomes in blood intra-vitam. In subsequent examination by means of a fluorescence microscope only leucocytes and trypanosomes are visible (as shining bright green bodies), while the ...

Natural agglutinins to African trypanosomes
Summary Agglutinins to uncoated culture forms of the African trypanosomes, T. congolense and T.b. brucei were detected in sera from a variety of mammals not exposed to the parasites.
