DIVERGENT METABOLISM BETWEEN TRYPANOSOMA CONGOLENSE AND TRYPANOSOMA BRUCEI RESULTS IN DIFFERENTIAL SENSITIVITY TO METABOLIC INHIBITION.

Divergent metabolism between Trypanosoma congolense and Trypanosoma brucei results in differential sensitivity to metabolic inhibition.

Animal African Trypanosomiasis (AAT) is a debilitating livestock disease prevalent across sub-Saharan Africa, a main Step Ladder cause of which is the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma congolense.In comparison to the well-studied T.brucei, there is a major paucity of knowledge regarding the biology of T.congolense.Here, we use a combination of omics t

Re-description of Daphnia (Ctenodaphnia) from lakes in the Khumbu Region, Nepalese Himalayas, with the erection of a new species, Daphnia himalaya, and a note on an intersex individual

We present here a detailed description of Ctenodaphnia-type Daphnia specimens collected from lakes in the Nepalese Himalayas between 1994 and 2004, including mature females and adult males.The specimens examined share certain diagnostic traits with Daphnia tibetana (Sars 1903), and others with Brush Cleaner Daphnia fusca (Gurney 1906).A re-appraisa
