Expression profiling of Trypanosoma congolense genes during development in the tsetse fly vector Glossina morsitans morsitans
Awuoche, Erick Otieno; Weiss, Brian L; Mireji, Paul O; Vigneron, Aurélien; Nyambega, Benson; Murilla, Grace; Aksoy, Serap (BioMed Central, 2018-12)The tsetse transmitted parasitic flagellate Trypanosoma congolense causes animal African trypanosomosis (AAT) across sub-Saharan Africa. AAT negatively impacts agricultural, economic, nutritional and subsequently, health ... -
A fine-tuned vector-parasite dialogue in tsetse's cardia determines peritrophic matrix integrity and trypanosome transmission success
Vigneron, Aurélien; Aksoy, Emre; Weiss, Brian L.; Bing, Xiaoli; Zhao, Xin; Awuoche, Erick O.; O'Neill, Michelle; Wu, Yineng; Attardo, Geoffrey M.; Aksoy, Serap (PLoS Pathog, 2018)Arthropod vectors have multiple physical and immunological barriers that impede the development and transmission of parasites to new vertebrate hosts. These barriers include the peritrophic matrix (PM), a chitinous barrier ... -
Molecular characterization of tsetse’s proboscis and its response to Trypanosoma congolense infection
Awuoche, Erick O.; Weiss, Brian L.; Vigneron, Aurélien; Mireji, Paul O.; Aksoy, Emre; Nyambega, Benson; Attardo, Geoffrey M.; Wu, Yineng; O’Neill, Michelle; Murilla, Grace; Aksoy, Serap (PLOS, 2017)Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) transmit parasitic African trypanosomes (Trypanosoma spp.), including Trypanosoma congolense, which causes animal African trypanosomiasis (AAT). AAT detrimentally affects agricultural activities ...
