Trypanosomes are parasitic protozoa that cause severe diseases in humans and animals. The most important species of Trypanosmes include Trypanosoma evansi brucei gambiense. well-known human sleeping sickness Africa Chagas disease South America. identified animal Nagana the African tsetse fly belt Surra Asia, North Africa, Middle East. is caused by evansi. Diminazene resistance an emerging threat T. infecting underlying mechanism diminazene poorly understood. gambiense causes sickness....
Control of tropical theileriosis, caused by the apicomplexan Theileria annulata, depends on use a single drug, buparvaquone, efficacy which is compromised emergence resistance. The present study was undertaken to improve understanding role mutations conferring buparvaquone resistance in T. and effects selection pressures their spread. First, we investigated genetic characteristics cytochrome b locus associated with 10 susceptible 7 resistant annulata isolates. 129G (GGC) mutation found Q01...
