Background To achieve elimination of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) caused by
Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (gHAT), the development of highly sensitive diagnostics is …

Antigenic variation is an immune evasion strategy used by Trypanosoma brucei that results
in the periodic exchange of the surface protein coat. This process is facilitated by the …

Homologous recombination dominates as the major form of DNA repair in Trypanosoma
brucei, and is especially important for recombination of the subtelomeric variant surface …

In the mammalian host, Trypanosoma brucei is coated in a single-variant surface glycoprotein
(VSG) species. Stochastic switching of the expressed VSG allows the parasite to escape …

The nucleotide sequence of the 16S rRNA genes of four rare human mycoplasma species.
Mycoplasma faucium, M. buccale, M. primatum and M. spermatophilum, were partially …

The Trypanosoma (T) brucei life cycle alternates between the tsetse fly vector and the
mammalian host. In the insect, T. brucei undergoes several developmental stages until it reaches …

Damage to the genetic material of the cell poses a universal threat to all forms of life. Central
to the DNA damage response (DDR) is a phosphorylation signalling cascade that leads to …

Homologous recombination dominates as the major form of DNA repair in Trypanosoma
brucei, and is especially important for recombination of the subtelomeric variant surface …

Introduction: Olfactory and taste disorders (OTDs) have been reported in COVID-19 caused
by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), the mechanisms of …

Background Children’s role in SARS-CoV-2 epidemiology remains unclear. We investigated
an initially unnoticed SARS-CoV-2 outbreak linked to schools in northern France, beginning …
