Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Rats infected with Trypanosoma brucei brucei, a subspecies of the extracellular parasites that cause African sleeping sickness, were examined for disturbances in the circadian rhythms of melatonin secretion (evaluated by determination of the excretion of melatonin in the urine) and the binding of melatonin to its receptor in the suprachiasmatic nuclei of the anterior hypothalamus."3.70African trypanosomiasis in the rat alters melatonin secretion and melatonin receptor binding in the suprachiasmatic nucleus. ( Claustrat, B; Kristensson, K; Mhlanga, JD; Møller, M, 1998)
"At the meningoencephalitis stage, human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), sleeping sickness, causes dysregulation of the circadian rhythm of the sleep/wake cycle, rather than hypersomnia."1.31[Sleeping sickness: major disorders of circadian rhythm]. ( Bisser, S; Bourdon, L; Buguet, A; Chapotot, F; Dumas, M; Radomski, MW, 2001)
"In human African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness), sleep and wake episodes are sporadically distributed throughout the day and the night."1.30Plasma melatonin rhythm is maintained in human African trypanosomiasis. ( Bogui, P; Buguet, A; Claustrat, B; Dumas, M; Geoffriau, M; Mouanga, G; Stanghellini, A, 1998)
"Patients with human African trypanosomiasis (HAT, sleeping sickness), due to the inoculation of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense or rhodesiense by the tsetse fly, are "sleepy by day and restless by night."1.30Is sleeping sickness a circadian disorder? The serotonergic hypothesis. ( Buguet, A, 1999)
