Journal ArticleDOI
The mosaic genome of warm-blooded vertebrates.

TL;DR: This approach has revealed that the distribution of genes, integrated viral sequences, and interspersed repeats is highly nonuniform in the genome, and that the base composition and ratio of CpG to GpC in both coding and noncoding sequences, as well as codon usage, mainly depend on the GC content of the isochores harboring the sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimonial-mediated DNA fragmentation in Leishmania infantum amastigotes.
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the antileishmanial toxicity of Sb(III) antimonials is associated with parasite oligonucleosomal DNA fragmentation, indicative of the occurrence of late events in the overall process of apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atypical Human Infections by Animal Trypanosomes
Philippe Truc,Philippe Büscher,Gérard Cuny,Mary Isabel Gonzatti,Jean Jannin,Prashant P. Joshi,P. D. Juyal,Zhao-Rong Lun,Raffaele C. Mattioli,Etienne Pays,Pere P. Simarro,Marta Maria Geraldes Teixeira,Louis Touratier,Philippe Vincendeau,Marc Desquesnes +14 more
TL;DR: Improvement, evaluation of new diagnostic tests, and field investigations are required for detection and confirmation of these atypical human trypanosomoses, which might be underestimated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Major Components of the Mouse and Human Genomes
TL;DR: The reassociation kinetics of DNA fragments obtained from the major components of the mouse and human genomes lead to the general conclusion that the sequence organization of mammalian genomes is not uniform in different chromosomal regions and that it exhibits remarkable variations in different mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wild fauna as a probable animal reservoir for Trypanosoma brucei gambiense in Cameroon
Flobert Njiokou,Claude Laveissière,Gustave Simo,S.W. Nkinin,Pascal Grébaut,Gérard Cuny,Stéphane Herder +6 more
TL;DR: Blood was collected from wild animals in three human African trypanosomiasis foci and from a nonendemic control area to study the existence of a wild animal reservoir for Trypanosoma brucei gambiense in South Cameroon.
