Journal ArticleDOI
Relative Contribution of Interferon-γ and Interleukin-10 to Resistance to Murine African Trypanosomosis
TL;DR: Results suggest that IFN-gamma, mainly secreted by CD8(+) T cells, is essential for parasite control via macrophage activation, which results in TNF and nitric oxide secretions, which suggests the role of IL-10 in maintaining the balance between pathogenic and protective immune responses during African trypanosomosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alternative versus classical macrophage activation during experimental African trypanosomosis.
TL;DR: Results indicate that caMφ develop in a type I cytokine environment in the early phase of WT and PLC−/− trypanosome infection, correlating with inhibition of T cell activation triggered by a mitogen, a superantigen, or an antigen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct Blood Dry LAMP: A Rapid, Stable, and Easy Diagnostic Tool for Human African Trypanosomiasis
TL;DR: This study made several substantial modifications to the technique to carry out on-site diagnosis of Human African Trypanosomiasis in remote areas using LAMP, which could greatly impact on the application of diagnosis not only for HAT but also for other tropical diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alternative versus classical macrophage activation during experimental African trypanosomosis
TL;DR: Results indicate that caMphi develop in a type I cytokine environment in the early phase of WT and PLC-/- trypanosome infection, correlating with inhibition of T cell activation triggered by a mitogen, a superantigen, or an antigen.

TL;DR: Interestingly, the transition of filovirus species causing outbreaks in Central and West Africa during 2005-2014 seemed to be synchronized with the change of the serologically dominant virus species in these bats, suggesting the introduction of multiple species offiloviruses in the migratory bat population.
