Vaccination of goats with a combination Salmonella vector expressing four Brucella antigens (BLS, PrpA, Omp19, and SOD) confers protection against Brucella abortus infection.
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.

phylogenetic and syntenic data support a single horizontal transfer to a Trypanosoma ancestor of a prokaryotic proline racemase implicated in parasite evasion from host defences. TryPRAC homologues as single copy genes per haploid genome in 12 of 15 Trypanosoma species, including Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma cruzi marinkellei, Trypanosoma dionisii, Trypanosoma erneyi, Trypanosoma rangeli, Trypanosoma conorhini and Trypanosoma lewisi, all parasites of mammals. Polymorphisms in TcPRAC genes match Trypanosoma cruzi genotypes: TcI-TcIV and Tcbat have unique genes, while the hybrids TcV and TcVI contain TcPRACA and TcPRACB from parental TcII and TcIII, respectively. PRAC homologues are identified in trypanosomes from anurans, snakes, crocodiles, lizards, and birds. Most trypanosomes have intact PRAC genes. Trypanosoma rangeli possesses only pseudogenes, maybe in the process of being lost. Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma congolense and their allied species, except the more distantly related Trypanosoma vivax, have completely lost PRAC genes. The genealogy of TryPRAC homologs supports an evolutionary history congruent with the Trypanosoma phylogeny
enzyme is a T-cell-independent B-cell mitogen, enzyme displays mitogenic activity towards splenic cells from euthymic Swiss mice, since addition of 0.1 mg/ml of recombinant protein promotes a 13fold increase of thymidine incorporation when compared with untreated cells, mitogenic activity of recombinant enzyme seems to be dependent on the active enzyme, since inhibition with 10 mM pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid prior to its incubation with splenocytes specifically decreases proliferation by 44%, enzyme triggers high levels of B-cell activation, terminal differentiation and antibody secretion
development of a Trypanosoma vivax specific PCR detection method based on the Trypanosoma vivax proline racemase (TvPRAC) gene. Forward and reverse primers are designed that bind at 764-783 bp and 983-1002 bp of the gene. To assess its specificity, TvPRAC PCR is conducted on DNA extracted from different haemotropic pathogens.Analysis of the analytical sensitivity of the different PCR methods, method evaluation, overview. Usage of Trypanosoma vivax isolates from bovine specimens from Nigeria, Ethiopia and Venezuela
