distribution and abundance of trypanosome (subgenus nannomonas) infections of the tsetse fly glossina pallidipes in southern africa.	over 10 000 glossina pallidipes tsetse flies were collected during two field studies in the zambezi valley, zimbabwe and one in the luangwa valley, zambia. these were screened for mature trypanosome infections and 234 dot-blot preparations were made of infected midguts, which were screened using dna probes or pcr with primers specific to different species or types of the trypanosome subgenus nannomonas. over 70% of midgut infections were successfully identified as either trypanosoma godfreyi, t. ...	1996	9147687
congopain genes diverged to become specific to savannah, forest and kilifi subgroups of trypanosoma congolense, and are valuable for diagnosis, genotyping and phylogenetic inferences.	trypanosoma congolense is the most important agent of nagana, a wasting livestock trypanosomosis in sub-saharan africa. this species is a complex of three subgroups (savannah, forest and kilifi) that differ in virulence, pathogenicity, drug resistance, vectors, and geographical distribution. congopain, the major cathepsin l-like cysteine protease (cp2) of t. congolense, has been extensively investigated as a pathogenic factor and target for drugs and vaccines, but knowledge about this enzyme is ...	2014	24480052
domestic pigs as potential reservoirs of human and animal trypanosomiasis in northern tanzania.	pig keeping is becoming increasingly common across sub-saharan africa. domestic pigs from the arusha region of northern tanzania were screened for trypanosomes using pcr-based methods to examine the role of pigs as a reservoir of human and animal trypanosomiasis.	2013	24499540
