| trypanosoma vivax | An active blood parasite that is present in practically all domestic animals in africa, the west indies, and parts of central and south america. In africa, the insect vector is the tsetse fly. In other countries, infection is by mechanical means indicating that the parasites have been introduced to these countries and have been able to maintain themselves in spite of the lack of a suitable intermediate host. It is a cause of nagana, the severity of which depends on the species affected. (12 Dec 1998) |

| trypanosomatid | Common name for a member of the family Trypanosomatidae. Synonym: trypanid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Trypanosomatidae | A protozoan family of haemoflagellates (order Kinetoplastida, class Zoomastigophorea, subphylum Mastigophora); asexual blood and/or tissue parasites of leeches, insects, and vertebrates and sap inhabitants of plants, characterised by a rounded or elongate form, a single nucleus, elongate mitochondrion (its position in relation to the nucleus is a characteristic of each genus), and an anteriorly directed single flagellum (in some genera, it borders an undulating membrane). Trypanosomatidae includes the genera Crithidia, Herpetomonas, Leptomonas, and Blastocrithidia, all of which are monogenetic and found in insects, and Phytomonas (found in plants), Endotrypanum, Leishmania, and Trypanosoma, all of which are digenetic; Leishmania and Trypanosoma include important pathogens of man and animals. Many trypanosomes pass through developmental or life cycle stages similar to the body forms characteristic of the genera; these forms include amastigote, choanomastigote, opisthomastigote, promastigote, epimastigote, and trypomastigote.

| trypanosomatina | A suborder of monoflagellate parasitic protozoa that lives in the blood and tissues of man and animals. Representative genera include: blastocrithidia, leptomonas, crithidia, herpetomonas, leishmania, phytomonas, and trypanosoma. Species of this suborder may exist in two or more morphologic stages formerly named after genera exemplifying these forms - amastigote (leishmania), choanomastigote (crithidia), promastigote (leptomonas), opisthomastigote (herpetomonas), epimastigote (blastocrithidia), and trypomastigote (trypanosoma).

| trypanosome | <cell biology> A type of parasitic protozoan which can cause a number of serious diseases in people and domestic animals, including African sleeping sickness and leishmaniasis. The trypanosome is able to remain within a host's body for a very long time because it regularly changes the proteins (i.e. Antigens) on its outer surface, so that the host's immune system must constantly develop new antibodies in order to continue to recognise and destroy it. The trypanosome uses a large number of different genes which can be used in many combinations to come up with the different surface proteins. As a result, the host is never able to completely eliminate the trypanosome. Origin: Gr. Soma = body (09 Oct 1997) |
| trypanosome fever | The febrile stage of sleeping sickness. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trypanosome stage | Term to replace the older term, "trypanosome stage," which was often confused with the flagellate genus Trypanosoma. It denotes the stage (infective stage for South American trypanosomiasis and African trypanosomiasis, and the only stage found in man in the latter illness) in which the flagellum arises from a posteriorly located kinetoplast and emerges from the side of the body, with an undulating membrane running along the length of the body. Origin: G. Trypanon, auger, + mastix, whip (05 Mar 2000) |
| trypanosomiasis | <disease, microbiology> A parasitic disease caused by the American strain, Trypanosoma cruzi. Chagas disease is usually transmitted by the bite of the kissing bug, but may also follow breast feeding (to infants) and blood transfusion. Although much more common in South America, it does, on rare occasions, occur in the U.S. A nodular swelling (chagoma) appears at the site of inoculation following a bite. The acute phase of the disease can last 2 to 3 months and patients present with fever, headache, anorexia, conjunctivitis and myocarditis. Infants can develop meningitis and heart involvement. Trypanosomiasis can cause congestive heart failure and ventricular aneurysms. Treatment is with nifurtimox. (27 Sep 1997) |
| trypanosomiasis, african | A disease endemic among people and animals in central africa. It is caused by various species of trypanosomes, particularly t. Gambiense and t. Rhodesiense. Its second host is the tsetse fly. Involvement of the central nervous system produces "african sleeping sickness." nagana is a rapidly fatal trypanosomiasis of horses and other animals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| trypanosomiasis, bovine | Infection in cattle caused by various species of trypanosomes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| trypanosomic | Relating to trypanosomes, especially denoting infection by such organisms. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trypanosomicide | An agent that kills trypanosomes. Synonym: trypanicide, trypanosomicide. Origin: trypanosome + L. Caedo, to kill (05 Mar 2000) |
| trypanosomid | A skin lesion resulting from immunologic changes from trypanosome disease. Origin: trypanosome + G. -id (05 Mar 2000) |
| trypanothione synthetase | <enzyme> Catalyses the synthesis of n(1)- and n(8)-glutathionylspermidine and trypanothione from ATP/mg, glutathione, and spermidine; purified from crithidia fasciculata; member of ATP-dependent class of ligases forming an amide linkage Registry number: EC 6.3.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
