TL;DR: The conditions for a highly sensitive, specific, and easy diagnostic assay based on LAMP technology for the detection of parasites in the Trypanosoma brucei group are reported, showing that the sensitivity of the LAMP-based method for detection of trypanosomes in vitro is up to 100 times higher than that of PCR-based methods.

TL;DR: The sequence and annotation of the 366-megabase Glossina mors Titans morsitans genome are described, providing a foundation for research into trypanosomiasis prevention and yield important insights with broad implications for multiple aspects of tsetse biology.

TL;DR: Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a rapid and simple technique since it can be carried out in 1 h and requires only a simple heating device for incubation, which has great potential of being used for diagnosis of trypanosomosis in the laboratory and the field.

TL;DR: The present study indicated that a high level of IgG1 Ab production to parasite is important for clearance of parasite at the early stage of infection and that T cell response has a crucial role for protection against the intracellular infection at the late stage of infections.

TL;DR: This is the first study, which applies the LAMP method to diagnose Toxoplasma from veterinary samples, and it has a potential to be applied as an alternative molecular diagnostic tool for detection of T. gondii infection from Veterinary samples.
