There is an alarming rate of human African trypanosomiasis recrudescence in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Yet, the disease has no successful chemotherapy. Trypanosoma lacks the enzymatic machinery for the de novo synthesis of purine nucleotides, and is critically dependent on salvage mechanis...
Phylogenetic analyses based on defined proteins or different RNA species have revealed that the order kinetoplastida belongs to the early‐branching eukaryotes and may thus contain organisms in which complex cellular events are easier to analyze. This view was further supported by results from a b...

Influence of Ca2+ depletion on cytoskeleton and nucleolus morphology in Trypanosoma brucei
Prostaglandins (PGs) comprise a family of structurally related bioactive lipid mediators that are involved in various symptoms associated with parasitic diseases. The molecular mechanisms of PG biosynthesis in animals have been studied extensively. Currently, several lines of evidence link their ...
