An Investigation into the Protein Composition of the Teneral Glossina morsitans morsitans Peritrophic Matrix. [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND Tsetse flies serve as biological vectors for several species of African trypanosomes. In order to survive, proliferate and establish a midgut infection, trypanosomes must cross the tsetse fly peritrophic matrix (PM), which is an acellular ...

Life’s unity and flexibility: the ecological link [PDF]
, 2010 The small size, ubiquity, metabolic versatility and flexibility, and genetic plasticity (horizontal transfer) of microbes allow them to tolerate and quickly adapt to unfavorable and/or changing environmental conditions.

Mutualist-Provisioned Resources Impact Vector Competency [PDF]
, 2019 Many symbionts supplement their host’s diet with essential nutrients. However, whether these nutrients also enhance parasitism is unknown. In this study, we investigated whether folate (vitamin B9) production by the tsetse fly (Glossina spp.) essential ...

Production of ammonia by Tritrichomonas foetus and Trichomonas vaginalis [PDF]
, 2005 Production of ammonia is difficult to find among the various studies of amino acid metabolism in protozoa. Several studies suggest that catabolism of arginine to ammonium is important for the growth of trichomonads.

100 days in the life of a tsetse fly [PDF]
, 2012 The tsetse fly tells her story of how she became an involuntary vector trasmitting trypanosomes. The parasites cause Nagana disease in cattle throughout sub-Saharan Africa and sleeping sickness in humans in some thirty African countries.

Characteristics of oligonucleotide frequencies across genomes: Conservation versus variation, strand symmetry, and evolutionary implications [PDF]
, 2008 One of the objectives of evolutionary genomics is to reveal the genetic information contained in the primordial genome (called the primary genetic information in this paper, with the primordial genome defined here as the most primitive nucleic acid ...

Essential residues in the H-NS binding site of Hha, a co-regulator of horizontally acquired genes in Enterobacteria [PDF]
, 2013 Proteins of the Hha/YmoA family co-regulate with H-NS the expression of horizontally acquired genes in Enterobacteria. Systematic mutations of conserved acidic residues in Hha have allowed the identification of D48 as an essential residue for H-NS ...
