DNA thermodynamic pressure: A potential contributor to genome evolution
(Oxford University Press, 2002)
Codon usage bias is a feature of living organisms. The origin of this bias might be explained not only by external factors but also by the nature of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) itself. We have developed a ...
Phylogenetic and syntenic data support a single horizontal transference to a Trypanosoma ancestor of a prokaryotic proline racemase implicated in parasite evasion from host defences
(BioMed Central, 2015)
Abstract
Background
Proline racemase (PRAC) enzymes of Trypanosoma cruzi (TcPRAC), the agent of Chagas disease, and Trypanosoma vivax (TvPRAC), the agent of livestock ...
Isozyme variability in Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas' disease : genetical, taxonomical, and epidemiological significance
(Evolution, 1988)
Abstract. -A genetic interpretation of the zymograms of 524 Trypanosoma cruzi stocks from various hosts and representing a broad geographical range (United States to Southern Brazil) reveals high genetic ...
Epidemiology, biochemistry and evolution of Trypanosoma cruzi lineages based on ribosomal RNA sequences
(Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Ministério da Saúde, 1999-09-01)
Evolutionary Insights from Bat Trypanosomes: Morphological, Developmental and Phylogenetic Evidence of a New Species, Trypanosoma (Schizotrypanum) erneyi sp nov., in African Bats Closely Related to Trypanosoma (Schizotrypanum) cruzi and Allied Species
(ELSEVIER GMBH, URBAN & FISCHER VERLAGJENA, 2012)
Parasites of the genus Trypanosoma are common in bats and those of the subgenus Schizotrypanum are restricted to bats throughout the world, with the exception of Trypanosoma (Schizotrypanum) cruzi that also infects other ...
Evolution of Trypanosoma cruzi: clarifying hybridisations, mitochondrial introgressions and phylogenetic relationships between major lineages
(Fundacao Oswaldo Cruz, 2015-02)
Different models of evolution of Trypanosoma cruzi have been proposed. These models suggest scarce events of genetic exchange in the evolutionary history of this parasite. In addition, the debate focused on the existence ...
Introgression of the Kinetoplast DNA: An Unusual Evolutionary Journey in Trypanosoma cruzi
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2017)
Introduction: Phylogenetic relationships between different lineages of Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease, have been controversial for several years. However, recent phylogenetic and phylogenomic analyses ...
Immunocytochemical localisation of calreticulin in Trypanosoma cruzi
(Springer, 2004-12)
Calreticulin, a Ca(2+) chaperone, is found in many different locations in various eukaryotic cells, including lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum, the cell surface, perinuclear areas and cytosolic granules. In the present ...
