Characterisation of the Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense isolates from Tanzania using serum resistance associated gene as molecular marker.

Tanzania health research bulletin - 1 Jan 2007

Kibona S N, Picozzi K, Matemba L, Lubega G W

Abstract excerpt

Serum resistance associated (SRA) gene has been found to confer resistance to the innate trypanolytic factor (TLF) found in normal human serum; thus allowing Trypanosoma brucei brucei to survive exposure to normal human serum. This study was carried out to examine the presence of SRA gene and identify the origin of T. b. rhodesiense isolates from three districts in Tanzania, namely Kibondo, Kasulu and Urambo....
