Trypanosoma congolense is a protozoan parasite that causes severe diseases in livestock. Three major quantative trait loci (QTL), Tir1, Tir2, and Tir3, control the survival time of mice after infection with T. congolense. Congenic mice carrying the C57BL/6 resistance alleles on the A/J background...

The world's domestic animal breeds represent an important resource for economic development and livelihood security. Extensive genetic diversity in these breeds allows the existence of livestock in all but the most extreme environments globally, providing a range of products and functions. Unfort...

The heat shock protein (HSP) 70.1 gene lies on mouse chromosome 17 among the candidates for Tir1, the major quantitative trait locus associated with response to Trypanosoma congolense infection. To evaluate whether the HSP70.1 gene is involved in the response, we compared the susceptibility of HS...

Differences in gene expression may be caused by nearby DNA polymorphisms (cis regulation) or by interactions of gene control regions with polymorphic transcription factors (trans regulation). Trans acting loci are much harder to detect than cis acting loci and their effects are much more sensitiv...

An international multidisciplinary consortium is conducting a programme of research on the host response to trypanosome infection. This builds upon quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping which identified genome regions influencing susceptibility to pathology following T. congolense infection in bo...

This study aimed to provide the foundation for an integrative approach to the identification of the mechanisms underlying the response to infection with Trypanosoma congolense, and to identify pathways that have previously been overlooked. We undertook a large-scale gene expression analysis study...

Synthetic antimicrobial 9-mer peptides (designated as peptides A and B) designed on the basis of insect defensins and their effects on the growth of African trypanosomes were examined using two isolates of Trypanosoma congolense, IL1180 and IL3338, and two isolates of Trypanosoma brucei brucei, I...
