Shared species of crocodilian trypanosomes carried by tabanid flies in Africa and South America, including the description of a new species from caimans, Trypanosoma kaiowa n. sp.

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background The genus Trypanosoma Gruby, 1843 is constituted by terrestrial and aquatic phylogenetic lineages both harboring understudied trypanosomes from reptiles including an increasing diversity of crocodilian trypanosomes.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase TbPTP1:A molecular switch controlling life cycle differentiation in trypanosomes [PDF]

, 2006
Differentiation in African trypanosomes (Trypanosoma brucei) entails passage between a mammalian host, where parasites exist as a proliferative slender form or a G0-arrested stumpy form, and the tsetse fly.

Molecular Detection of Trypanosoma spp. in Questing and Feeding Ticks (Ixodidae) Collected from an Endemic Region of South-West Australia

Pathogens, 2021
A growing number of indigenous trypanosomes have been reported to naturally infect a variety of Australian wildlife with some species of Trypanosoma implicated in the population decline of critically endangered marsupials.

Development of bioluminescent reporter Trypanosoma cruzi and bioassay for compound screening

Frontiers in Chemical Biology
Trypanosoma cruzi is the etiologic agent of Chagas’ disease, a debilitating and mortal zoonotic illness that threatens the lives of several millions of people in the American continent. The acute phase is underdiagnosed and there is no curative treatment

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 ...

Trypanosome Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Biosynthesis [PDF]

The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 2009
Trypanosoma brucei, a protozoan parasite, causes sleeping sickness in humans and Nagana disease in domestic animals in central Africa. The trypanosome surface is extensively covered by glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins known as variant surface glycoproteins and procyclins.

Cholesterol import fails to prevent catalyst-based inhibition of ergosterol synthesis and cell proliferation of Trypanosoma brucei

Journal of Lipid Research, 2007
Trypanosoma brucei (TB) cultured in rat blood, bovine serum, or lipid-depleted serum generated distinct differences in cholesterol availability. Whereas cell proliferation of the parasite was relatively unaffected by cholesterol availability, the ratios ...
