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]

A few of these repeats are also present upstream of chromosome internal basic copy VSG genes. [scielo.br]

  As the trypanosomes multiply in the bloodstream, symptoms such as headaches, joint pain, fever, and itching can occur. When the parasites cross the blood-brain barrier into the central nervous system mental impairment, lethargy, and coma can result. [acsu.buffalo.edu]

• Weakness

  In the first stage of the disease, the parasite is in the blood, but in stage 2, the infective form reaches the brain, causing great weakness and death. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Muscle weakness, paralysis, confusion, tremors are some of the physical neurological symptoms. Aggression, short temperament, and apathy can be some of the psychological symptoms. [wiki.ggc.edu]

  Sleeping sickness spreads easily to human and animals in rural areas that have weak health systems. [en.citizendium.org]

  It is conceivable that trypanosomes can cross the human BBB via different cells types and not only via disruption of the endothelial tight junctions or anatomical weaknesses. [omicsonline.org]

  Infection by T. brucei corresponds to initial symptoms of headache, weakness, and even joint pain. If it goes untreated, the disease’s intermediate stages accompany cardiovascular problems, kidney disorders, and anemia [11]. [microbewiki.kenyon.edu]

  Irritability, concentration difficulties, and slurred speech are evident – and of course, extreme fatigue. Without treatment, coma and death are assured. [giantmicrobes.com]

  Gambian trypanosomiasis is characterized by steady progressive meningoencephalitis, apathy, confusion, fatigue, coordination loss, and somnolence (Figure 28.8). [med-chem.com]

  Fatigue is probably a result of the body constantly funneling of resources to fight a never ending infection. Figure 8. [bio.davidson.edu]

• Collapse

  Unfortunately, a collapse of surveillance and monitoring activities in endemic countries, primarily originating from political instability, led to re-emergence of the disease in the early 1990s. 7 Simarro PP Diarra A Ruiz Postigo JA Franco JR Jannin JG [thelancet.com]

  Their mitochondria collapsed from a highly branched structure to an essentially straight single tubule, reminiscent of the mitochondrial shape observed in the bloodstream form ( 55 ). [mcponline.org]

  Based on these results, poorly supported deep nodes among the Excavata and eukaryotes were collapsed (nodes marked by asterisk in the Fig. 1 ) and the resulting 945 possible topologies were exhaustively searched and the branch support was estimated by [doi.org]

• Urticaria

  Pruritus, urticaria and facial oedema which sometimes occur. [patient.info]

• Suggestibility

  In contrast to previous suggestion, isopentyl caffeate did not interact with the active site of TbCATL but inhibited the enzyme in a non-competitive way. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Genomic analyses suggest that these parasites appear to differ considerably from the host in signaling mechanisms, with the exception of receptor-type adenylate cyclases (AC) that are topologically similar to receptor-type guanylate cyclase (GC) of higher [mdpi.com]

  Taken together, these results suggest that TbCEP57 is required for basal body separation. [mbio.asm.org]

  Do not agitate the ampule. Immediately after thawing, aseptically transfer contents to a T-25 tissue culture flask containing 10.0 mL of growth medium. Incubate at 27°C with the cap screwed on tightly. [atcc.org]

  Reactions were carried out at room temperature by slow agitation overnight and stopped by fixing the gels in 45% methanol and 10% acetic acid. Complex V was visualized as previously reported ( 8 ). [mcponline.org]

  The cells were gently agitated for 1 hour and then washed twice with chilled PBS and spread onto slides as described above. [doi.org]

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]

With more attention dedicated to the treatment of this widespread infection, methods of treatment and of screening populations could be significantly helped and eventually the prevalence of the disease for these people would decrease. [microbewiki.kenyon.edu]
