Journal ArticleDOI
A changing environment and the epidemiology of tsetse-transmitted livestock trypanosomiasis
Peter Van den Bossche,Peter Van den Bossche,Stéphane De La Rocque,Guy Hendrickx,Jérémy Bouyer +4 more
TL;DR: Changes in the dynamics of the epidemiology have an important impact on the factors that need to be considered when developing area-specific strategies for the future management of tsetse-transmitted livestock trypanosomiasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular tools for the rapid detection of drug resistance in animal trypanosomes
TL;DR: The mechanisms involved in resistance to isometamidium and diminazene will be discussed, together with some new molecular detection tools that have been developed recently enabling faster diagnosis of drug resistance than conventional laboratory or field tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
High prevalence of drug resistance in animal trypanosomes without a history of drug exposure.
Simbarashe Chitanga,Simbarashe Chitanga,Tanguy Marcotty,Tanguy Marcotty,Boniface Namangala,Peter Van den Bossche,Peter Van den Bossche,Jan Van Den Abbeele,V. Delespaux +8 more
TL;DR: The widespread presence of the DA-resistance linked mutation in T. congolense isolated from wildlife suggests that this mutation is favourable to parasite survival and/or its dissemination in the host population independent from the presence of drug.
Journal ArticleDOI
Taenia solium Infections in a Rural Area of Eastern Zambia-A Community Based Study
Kabemba E. Mwape,Isaac K. Phiri,Nicolas Praet,John Bwalya Muma,Gideon Zulu,Peter Van den Bossche,Reginald De Deken,Niko Speybroeck,Pierre Dorny,Pierre Dorny,Sarah Gabriël +10 more
TL;DR: Change point analysis revealed that the frequency of cysticercus antigens increased significantly in individuals above the age of 30 andCopro-Ag positivity was not related to age or gender, and the need for further studies on transmission dynamics and impact of the disease on the local people was identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Five-fold increase in Trypanosoma congolense isolates resistant to diminazene aceturate over a seven-year period in eastern Zambia
V. Delespaux,Hunduma Dinka,Justin Masumu,Peter Van den Bossche,Peter Van den Bossche,Stanny Geerts +5 more
TL;DR: Two groups of Trypanosoma congolense isolates collected from cattle in Zambia were analyzed by BclI-PCR-RFLP to assess the evolution of diminazene aceturate (DA) resistance and it is suggested that genetic exchange of resistance genes might explain the increased frequency of resistance to DA.
