A comparative genomics approach towards classifying immunity-related proteins in the tsetse fly
… African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) and Nagana in livestock. Research suggests that tsetse fly immunity factors are key determinants in the success and failure of infection and the maturation process of parasites. An analysis of tsetse fly immunity factors is limited by the paucity of …

Prevalence and risk factors associated with Trypanosomosis in Cattle Herds in Kilwa District of Lindi Region of Tanzania
African Animal trypanosomosis (AAT) or Nagana and Human African Trypanosomosis (HAT) or Sleeping Sickness are complex chronic, debilitating, emaciating and often fatal diseases of animals and humans, respectively. This cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence and risk factors …

Uncovering the Role of 5'-Nucleotidases in Pyrimidine Metabolism in Trypanosoma brucei
… disease African trypanosomiasis in humans and nagana in cattle. Fifty-five million people in subtropical countries are at risk for contracting T. brucei through the tsetse fly vector, and infection is typically fatal if untreated. While recent interventions have reduced disease prevalence, …

Tracking the In Vivo Dynamics of Antigenic Variation in the African Trypanosome
… agent of African sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in animals, constantly changes its dense variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) coat to avoid elimination by the immune system of its mammalian host, using an extensive repertoire of dedicated genes. Although this process, referred to as …

Biological and biochemical characterization of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase 8 homolog (TbERK8) in Trypanosoma brucei
… cause Human African typanosomiasis (HAT) and nagana in cattle. In humans, the diseases caused by these parasites are fatal if left untreated. Treatments for these diseases are complicated because the approved drugs for treatment are ineffective against the parasites and have many toxic side …

Novel mitochondrial metabolism in excavate protists
… causing Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) and Nagana in livestock. It has a complex heteroxenous life cycle that involves a variety of complex morphological and biochemical changes to the cell as it switches from a mammalian to an insect host. Within the mid-gut of its tsetse fly vector, T. …

Linkage mapping and genetic analysis of Trypanosoma brucei
… causative agent of sleeping sickness in man and Nagana in cattle. The complete genome sequence of T.brucei is now available and the diploid genetic system has recently been demonstrated to be Mendelian. This opens up the possibility of using a classical genetic approach to identify genetic loci …

Epidemiological role of indigenous dogs in the transmission of animal and human African trypanosomiasis in Zambia: a case study of dogs from Mambwe District
In Zambia, African trypanosomiasis (AT) is endemic in tsetse-infested Mambwe district. Although cases are common in livestock, they are rarely reported in dogs. However, recent studies have detected trypanosomes in Zambian dogs. As a follow-up, the current research was designed to investigate what …
