The nucleic acid probes that are currently in use detect and distinguish Trypanosoma vivax parasites according to their geographic origin. To eliminate the need for using multiple DNA probes, a study was conducted to evaluate the suitability of a tandemly reiterated sequence which encodes a T. vi...

Infection with African trypanosomes causes the diseases sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in cattle in sub-Saharan Africa. Suppression of cellular immune responses is a feature of trypanosomiasis in bovine, human, and murine hosts. Some aspects of immunosuppression in the murine model are me...

Trypanosome infection was detected by the dark ground/phase contrast buffy coat microscopic technique in N'Dama cattle in a high natural tsetse challenge situation in Zaire. The data were used to compare the pattern of infection in very young animals and in their dams, and to evaluate how the pat...

In order to compare the prophylactic effect provided by a poly(D,L-lactide) sustained-release device (SRD) containing isometamidium (ISMM; Trypamidium) with that provided by the classical im injection of the drug, a field trial was carried out at the Madina Diassa Ranch in Mali, beginning in Nove...

The recent genome initiatives of the neglected parasites Trypanosoma vivax and Trypanosoma congolense, and the vector tsetse are promising with regards to the data available in public databases. While these genome initiatives and the potential for developing new drugs and vaccines are admirable, ...
