| studies on glycerol kinase and its role in atp synthesis in trypanosoma brucei. | glycerol kinase of trypanosoma brucei has been shown to be capable of catalysing sn-glycerol-3-phosphate dependent adp phosphorylation for atp generation. the rate of this reaction (vr) is sufficient to account for the observed rate of glycerol production from anaerobic glucose metabolism by intact cells and to account for net atp synthesis. glycerol kinase has been purified by preparing a post-nuclear, particulate fraction and solubilizing the enzyme with 0.5% (w/v) triton x-100. this treatment ... | 1980 | 6258071 |
| basis of the specificity of rodent trypanosomes for their natural hosts. | the strong natural insusceptibility of mice to infection with the rat-specific trypanosoma lewisi was investigated in a variety of mouse strains. parasite elimination by all strains was similar involving a lag phase of about 7 h of constant parasitemia followed by rapid clearance (half-times of 55 and 130 min in different strains). in vitro cultures were utilized to determine whether mouse cells and serum were inherently deficient in supporting t. lewisi or, alternatively, toxic for the parasite ... | 1981 | 6268542 |

| rat liver glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase isozymes: influence of infection with trypanosoma. | glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) changes were studied in livers of rats inoculated with trypanosoma lewisi, trypanosoma rhodesiense, trypanosoma congolense and trypanosoma brucei. marked increases in g6pd were directly related to the degree of parasitemia. no essential differences in g6pd levels were seen in animals inoculated with physiological saline when compared with uninoculated controls. elevation of g6pd was observed only from day 10 to 20 in rats inoculated with t. lewisi. after ... | 1983 | 6349921 |
| the glycoproteins of the complex surface coat of trypanosoma lewisi. | blood stream forms of trypanosoma lewisi from rats previously infected were labelled in vitro by galactose-oxidase oxidation followed by nab3h4 reduction and subjected to 7.5% sds-polyacrylamide gel analysis, by this procedure 8 bands were detected on sds polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. we conclude that surface composition of trypanosoma lewisi resulted more complex than that of trypanosoma so far studied, suggesting a possible relation with induced immunity and reduced ability of the parasi ... | 1983 | 6354473 |
| anemia and thrombocytopenia from corynebacterium parvum-stimulated resistance against malaria, trypanosomiasis, and babesiosis. | nonspecific immunity (nsi) was manifested in rats injected intravenously with killed corynebacterium parvum and challenged with trypanosoma lewisi, plasmodium chabaudi, or babesia rodhaini. the nsi became evident some 5 days after infection as a suppressed parasitemia, a more rapid recovery from patent infection and as enhanced survival among rats infected with b. rodhaini. the c. parvum injections produced anemia and thrombocytopenia with splenomegaly and signs of glomerulonephritis in rats. th ... | 1983 | 6355427 |
| externally disposed membrane polypeptides of intact and protease-treated trypanosoma lewisi correlated with sensitivity to alternate complement pathway-mediated lysis. | reproducing forms of trypanosoma lewisi isolated from x-irradiated rats and adult forms from intact rats were not lysed by fresh mammalian sera. treating parasites with trypsin or chymotrypsin, but not with neuraminidase, under conditions which did not impair viability rendered the parasites sensitive to lysis by rat, mouse, rabbit, and human sera. serum from animal strains or humans genetically deficient in complement component c3, c5, or c6 did not lyse protease-treated parasites. the lytic fa ... | 1983 | 6358042 |

| persistent infection of mongolian jirds with a non-pathogenic trypanosome, trypanosoma (herpetosoma) grosi. | non-pathogenic trypanosomes of the subgenus herpetosoma are normally host specific, and laboratory models include trypanosoma lewisi in rats and trypanosoma musculi in mice. two isolates of trypanosoma grosi, originating from apodemus agrarius and apodemus peninsulae, grew well in mongolian jirds, meriones unguiculatus, after intraperitoneal inoculation of 2 x 10(5) or a minimum 500 bloodstream forms. the course of t. grosi infection in jirds resembled t. musculi infection in mice, rather than t ... | 2003 | 14636022 |

| natural babesia infection sought in black and norway rats trapped in five egyptian governorates. | babesiosis is a protozoal disease caused by members of the genus babesia transmitted by the ixodid ticks. it is a parasite of various mammalian hosts as bovine (b. bovis), equine (b. equi), rodent (b. microti), canine (b. canis) and others. human cases of babesiosis have been reported from several countries including egypt. it is now well established that man may become infected (fulminating or subclinical) with several species of babesia without prior splenectomy. in this paper, a total of 398 ... | 1993 | 8376851 |

| trypanosoma lewisi-induced immunosuppression: the effects on alveolar macrophage activities against cryptococcus neoformans. | the immunosuppressive effect of trypanosoma lewisi infection on alveolar macrophage (am) activities against cryptococcus neoformans was studied in an animal model. two groups of rats were treated with t. lewisi and killed after 4 (4d-rats) and 7 days (7d-rats), respectively. a third group not given t. lewisi, served as control. am were challenged in vitro with c. neoformans. phagocytosis was assessed with a fluorescence method. superoxide anion production was evaluated with the nitroblue tetrazo ... | 2006 | 16546172 |

| pathological developments mediated by cyclophosphamide in rats infected with trypanosoma lewisi. | trypanosoma lewisi is an obligatory, flagellated parasite of the rat. despite the fact that naturally the rats overcome the disease, a lethal infection can be induced by the administration of an immunosuppressive agent, i.e. cyclophosphamide (cy). in the cy treated infected rats (cyi) the severity of the trypanosome infection was demonstrated in the internal organs, in the following order: lungs>liver>heart>spleen>kidney. the parasites were not detected in the brain. the accumulation of the para ... | 2006 | 16859956 |

| trypanosoma cruzi oleate desaturase: molecular characterization and comparative analysis in other trypanosomatids. | trypanosoma cruzi lipids contain a high content of unsaturated fatty acids, primarily oleic acid (c18:1) and linoleic acid (c18:2). previous data suggest that this parasite is able to convert oleic acid into linoleic acid; humans are not able to do this. presently, we show that t. cruzi has a gene with high similarity to the delta12 (omega6)-oleate desaturase from plants. northern blot analysis of the oleate desaturase gene from t. cruzi (od(tc)) indicated that this gene is transcribed in epimas ... | 2006 | 17152952 |
