Genome organization and DNA accessibility control antigenic variation in trypanosomes

open access: yesNature, 2018
Many evolutionarily distant pathogenic organisms have evolved similar survival strategies to evade the immune responses of their hosts. These include antigenic variation, through which an infecting organism prevents clearance by periodically altering the

A receptor for the complement regulator factor H increases transmission of trypanosomes to tsetse flies

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Persistent pathogens have evolved to avoid elimination by the mammalian immune system including mechanisms to evade complement. Infections with African trypanosomes can persist for years and cause human and animal disease throughout sub-Saharan Africa ...

Coordination of the Cell Cycle in Trypanosomes

open access: yesAnnual Review of Microbiology, 2019
Trypanosomes have complex life cycles within which there are both proliferative and differentiation cell divisions. The coordination of the cell cycle to achieve these different divisions is critical for the parasite to infect both host and vector.

Elusive trypanosomes

Annals of Tropical Medicine & Parasitology, 1991
Professor Kershaw's encouragement of the development of anion-exchange separation of African trypanosomes from blood led to two decades of activity when, for the first time, considerable progress was made in the intrinsic characterization of these parasites. Such characterization depended on establishing high infections in laboratory rodents.

Molecular detection of Megatrypanum trypanosomes in tabanid flies

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2020
Trypanosomes of the subgenus Megatrypanum have been isolated from many mammalian hosts around the world. They are usually non‐pathogenic, although they may confuse the parasitological diagnosis of trypanosomosis.

Trypanosome glucose transporters

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1998
, by contrast adopts an intracellularenvironment within their mammalian hosts. Inva-sion and passage through different anatomicallocations within insect vectors also distinguishesthe parasites.All trypanosome species use glucose as a crucialsource of energy, and all have specific plasmamembrane transporters to facilitate the uptake ofthis molecule.

Trypanosome Signaling—Quorum Sensing

Annual Review of Microbiology, 2021
African trypanosomes are responsible for important diseases of humans and animals in sub-Saharan Africa. The best-studied species is Trypanosoma brucei, which is characterized by development in the mammalian host between morphologically slender and stumpy forms. The latter are adapted for transmission by the parasite's vector, the tsetse fly.

Visualizing trypanosome sex

Trends in Parasitology, 2008
Genetic exchange in Trypanosoma brucei is now well characterized. It is a key tool that has enabled an understanding of important parasite genetic traits and underpinned the Trypanosoma brucei genome project. However, a key aspect that has eluded us is the point in the trypanosome life cycle where genetic exchange occurs.
