Trypanosoma brucei brucei Induces Polymorphonuclear Neutrophil Activation and Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Release

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Trypanosoma brucei brucei trypomastigotes are classical blood parasites of cattle, these stages might become potential targets for circulating polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN).

Pseudokinase NRP1 facilitates endocytosis of transferrin in the African trypanosome

Scientific Reports, 2022
Trypanosoma brucei causes human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) and nagana in cattle. During infection of a vertebrate, endocytosis of host transferrin (Tf) is important for viability of the parasite.

Survey of Smallholder Dairy Cattle Farming System and Antibiotic Residues in Raw Cow's Milk in Bagamoyo District, Tanzania

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Smallholder dairy farmers in Tanzania face livestock disease challenges that drive imprudent antimicrobial use and fuel antimicrobial resistance (AMR). In Bagamoyo, poor husbandry and limited disease control result in high prevalence of vector‐borne infections, commonly treated with oxytetracycline (OTC).

Exploring Biological Properties of Manganese(II)‐Phenanthroline‐Based Complexes: In Vitro Insights

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 29, 3 August 2026.
Four Mn(II) complexes with phenanthroline derivatives were studied. These compounds were tested against several parasites and different human cancer cells. Despite its cytotoxicity on breast cancer, DNA seems not to be the main biological target. These complexes can drive the design and development of new metal‐based agents with improved biological ...

Translocation of livestock‐raiding lions under specific conditions can mitigate conflict

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
Human‐wildlife conflict is a pervasive threat that imperils many carnivore species worldwide, and although translocation is often used as a conflict mitigation strategy, it is widely regarded as ineffective. Here, we demonstrate that careful selection of suitable release sites can improve outcomes, as 80% of stock‐raiding lion translocations in ...

Spatial Distribution of Tsetse Flies and Trypanosome Infection Status in a Vector Genetic Transition Zone in Northern Uganda

Journal of Parasitology Research, 2022
Background. Tsetse flies are vectors of the genus Trypanosoma that cause African trypanosomiasis, a serious parasitic disease of people and animals. Reliable data on the vector distribution and the trypanosome species they carry is pertinent for planning

Molecular and phylogenetic analysis of a type K1 strain Trypanosoma evansi isolate from Nigerian cattle: An evaluation of the therapeutic effects of compounds from Brassica oleracea on the histopathology of infected wister rats

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2023
Background: Understanding the pathogenesis of animal trypanosomiasis can be improved by studying the genetics of bovine trypanosomes. Pathogenic animal trypanosomes are a major impediment to livestock production, with negative economic consequences ...

Probing 5‐Nitroimidazole‐Triazole Hybrids as Potential Anti‐Kinetoplastid Agents: Synthesis and In Vitro Efficacy

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
A series of 5‐nitroimidazole‐1,2,3‐triazole hybrids was synthesised and evaluated for antitrypanosomatid activity to assess their potential as treatments against leishmaniasis and trypanosomiasis. No notable in vitro activity against Leishmania was detected.
