متن کاملAn Overview of Trypanosoma brucei Infections: An Intense Host–Parasite Interaction
Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and T. brucei gambiense, the causative agents of Human African Trypanosomiasis, are transmitted by tsetse flies. Within the vector, the parasite undergoes through transformations that prepares it to infect the human host. Sequentially these developmental stages are the replicative procyclic (in which the parasite surface is covered by procyclins) and trypo-epimast...
متن کاملArginase Activity and Its Effects on Pathogenesis of Leishmania
Leishmaniasis is a tropical parasitic disease that has become a major health challenge in many countries of the world. Not only has not been found any effective vaccine or treatment for the disease eradication, but also the advent of drug resistance is also increasing. Therefore, it is vital to take a precise attention to the physiochemical cycles of the Leishmania parasite and to identify i...
متن کاملUrinary Biochemical Changes, Histopatologic Effect of Kidney Damage Observed in Rats Infected with Trypanosoma b. brucei
Several investigations have used immunological techniques in elucidating the effect of host parasite relationship in animals to understand that of man. Sleeping sickness, a tropical disease in man is caused by Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. The related species Trypanosoma brucei brucei causes Nagana disease and rapid death in domestic animals. Trypanosomiasis c...
متن کاملDiscovery of Trypanosomatid Parasites in Globally Distributed Drosophila Species
Microbial parasites of animals include bacteria, viruses, and various unicellular eukaryotes. Because of the difficulty in studying these microorganisms in both humans and disease vectors, laboratory models are commonly used for experimental analysis of host-parasite interactions. Drosophila is one such model that has made significant contributions to our knowledge of bacterial, fungal, and vir...
