Trypanosoma Brucei
TrypanosomaBrucei ProcyclicTrypomastigote SEM
Presentation
- Results: Metabolic markers did not distinguish between early and late-stage cases but were associated with neuroinflammatory responses and the presentation of neurological disturbances.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Blue-native gel electrophoresis revealed that TbTim62 is present primarily in 150-kDa and also in 1100-kDa protein complexes, whereas TbTim17 is present in multiple complexes within the range of 300 to 1100 kDa.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Cytokine concentrations were analyzed in relation to disease progression, clinical presentation and severity of neurological responses.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- We present characteristic clinical and microbiologic features of a fatal case of African Sleeping Sickness in an HIV-infected individual.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Six days after the initial presentation of this infection she developed evidence of tropical pyomyositis (TP). These diseases, both of which are rare in Europids, were satisfactorily treated.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
Intravenous Administration
- Current drugs suffer from severe toxicities and require intramuscular or intravenous administrations. The situation is further aggravated due to the emergence of drug resistance.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- However, the combination therapy is still only effective against T. b. gambiense , and still limited by the complex intravenous administration.[mdpi.com]
Neurologic
Gait Ataxia
- In particular, increased concentrations of 3-hydroxybutyrate and alanine and reduced concentrations of mannose and urea were discriminatory for the presentation of daytime somnolence and gait ataxia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment
- Treatment discontinuations were unrelated to treatment (n 2 [1%] in the fexinidazole group).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Human African trypanosomiasis a fatal disease for which no vaccines exist and treatment regimens are difficult. Here, we evaluate a Trypanosoma brucei protein kinase, AEK1, as a potential drug target.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The compound is currently awaiting phase III clinical trials and could lead to a novel oral therapeutic for the treatment of HAT. However, the mode of action of AN5568 in T. brucei is unknown.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- As the few drugs available for treatment of the diseases have limited efficacy and produce adverse reactions, new and better tolerated therapies are required.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Follow up evaluation of these plant extracts is likely to yield new antitrypanosomal drug-leads or alternate medicines for treatment of HAT.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
- Reliable and validated biomarkers could represent a possible breakthrough in the management of this tumor type, by facilitating diagnosis, refining prognosis and providing guidance towards the choice of the most appropriate therapy In this thesis we approach[avhandlingar.se]
- Prognosis African trypanosomiasis is fatal if not treated. [ 15 ] In early or stage 1 disease, most patients recover fully with treatment.[patient.info]

- Trypanosoma brucei Protozoan parasites within the species Trypanosoma brucei are the etiological agent of human sleeping sickness and Nagana in animals.[sanger.ac.uk]
- Clinical signs have their intensity associated with the etiological agent T. b. rhodesiense or T. b. gambiense [ 1 , 3 , 6 ].[mdpi.com]
Epidemiology
- Here, we have explored the feasibility of using commercially available LAMP kits, designed to detect the Trypanozoon group of trypanosomes, as a xenomonitoring tool to screen tsetse flies for trypanosomes to be used in future epidemiological surveys.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Potential genetic recombination of this gene between Tbr and non-human infective Tbb strains has significant epidemiological consequences for Human African Trypanosomiasis outbreaks.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
- Here we report that T. b. gambiense resists TLFs via a hydrophobic β-sheet of the T. b. gambiense-specific glycoprotein (TgsGP), which prevents APOL1 toxicity and induces stiffening of membranes upon interaction with lipids.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- A new class of steroidal therapeutics based on phylogenetic-guided design of covalent inhibitors that target parasite-specific enzymes of ergosterol biosynthesis is shown to prevent growth of the protozoan-Trypanosoma brucei, responsible for sleeping[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Furthermore, neither high concentrations of transferrin nor knock-out of cytosolic lipid peroxidases prevented TLF-1 lysis. Instead, purified ApoL1 was sufficient to induce lysis, and ApoL1 lysis was inhibited by the antioxidant DPPD.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
