African trypanosomes proliferate as bloodstream forms (BSFs) and procyclic forms in the
mammal and tsetse fly midgut, respectively. This allows them to colonise the host …

ABSTRACT Introduction Human African Trypanosomiasis is a neglected disease caused by
infection from parasites belonging to the Trypanosoma brucei species. Only six drugs are …

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are crucial enzymes for cellular protein metabolism and have
been considered as an attractive target for development of new antimicrobials. In the current …

Background: A lizard Leishmania has been isolated from a lizard (Agama agilis) in Iran. Its
genome sequence has not been determined, so far. Methods: The study was done at Shahid …
