Human African trypanosomiasis amongst urban residents in Kinshasa: a case-control study. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Increasing numbers of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) cases have been reported in urban residents of Kinshasa, Democratic Republic Congo since 1996. We set up a case-control study to identify risk factors for the disease.

ABSTRACT Penicillium sp. (IBWF 040‐09) produces a protease inhibitor that can potentially be used against the main protease of human African trypanosomiasis. Since the target substance is formed intracellularly (under nutrient limitation), the fungal pellet is preferred compared to the free mycelia in bioreactor cultivation.

•Vaccines prevent various infectious diseases. However, WTV and WTP for vaccination hindered by multiple challenges. •Overall, 38% of respondents reported as WTV, 36% reported as WTP, whereas 75% chose drugs as a control method over vaccines. •Inaccessibility, high price of vaccines and harm caused by vaccines were noted as a challenge.

Investigation of Novel Isatinylhydantoin Derivatives as Potential Anti‐Kinetoplastid Agents
A series of isatinylhydantoin derivatives were synthesized and investigated for antileishmanial and antitrypanosomal activities in vitro and in vivo. The derivative 5 was identified with higher leishmanicidal activity than the clinical drug amphotericin B while 4b was uncovered as in vitro trypanocidal hit against T. congolense parasite.

Infections with extracellular trypanosomes require control by efficient innate immune mechanisms and can result in the destruction of the mammalian humoral immune system [PDF]
Salivarian trypanosomes are extracellular parasites that affect humans, livestock, and game animals around the world. Through co-evolution with the mammalian immune system, trypanosomes have developed defense mechanisms that allow them to thrive in blood,

A series of novel ferrocene derivatives, mimics of the clinical antibiotics, nifuroxazide and nitrofurazone, termed ferroxazides and ferrazones, respectively, were synthesized and evaluated for antitrypanosomatid activities. The ferroxazide 15 bearing dimethylamino moiety was identified in vitro as hit against Trypanosoma congolense strain but ...
