1. Effect of the cell-growth rate on the invasion and infection efficacy of Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigotes, and the potential cell-to-cell transfer of the parasite
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologiAbstract : Recent studies proposed that mammalian cell lines with slower growth rates were infected more efficiently by Trypanosoma cruzi, and that cell-to-cell transmission could be occurring during infection. This open the question of whether host cell-growth rate is a cellular characteristic influencing Trypanosoma cruzi invasion and infection. READ MORE

3. Investigation of small molecules binding to UDP-galactose 4'-epimerase : A validated drug target for Trypanosoma brucei, the parasite responsible for African Sleeping Sickness.
University essay from BiokemiAbstract : African sleeping sickness is a parasitic infection spread by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei, and drugs used today are toxic and painful. Galactose metabolism is essential for the survival of T. brucei and without a functional UDP galactose 4’ epimerase (GalE) galactose starvation occurs and cell death will follow. READ MORE

5. Trypanosomosis, the disease and its control : an analysis of a new tsetse-repellent technology
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public HealthAbstract : Trypanosomosis, a disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus, Trypanosoma and transmitted cyclically by the tsetse fly (Glossina spp) is arguably still the one of the main constraints to livestock production on the African continent, preventing full use of the land to feed the rapidly increasing human population. Sleeping sickness, the disease caused in humans by other species specific of Trypanosoma, is an important yet neglected disease which poses a threat to millions of people in tsetse infested areas.
