Trypanosomatids are easy to cultivate and they are (in many cases) amenable to genetic
manipulation. Genome sequencing has become a standard tool routinely used in the study …

The decoding of the Tritryp reference genomes nearly 7 years ago provided a first peek into
the biology of pathogenic trypanosomatids and a blueprint that has paved the way for …

A decade of genome sequencing has transformed our understanding of how trypanosomatid
parasites have evolved and provided fresh impetus to explaining the origins of parasitism in …

In 2005, draft sequences of the genomes of Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma cruzi and
Leishmania major, also known as the Tri-Tryp genomes, were published. These protozoan …

Some of the biochemical peculiarities that occur in trypanosomatid protozoa are relatively
well known: compartmentalisation of glycolytic enzymes within microbodies of the …

Background Protists of the family Trypanosomatidae (phylum Euglenozoa) have gained
notoriety as parasites affecting humans, domestic animals, and agricultural plants. However …

Unicellular flagellates of the family Trypanosomatidae are obligatory parasites of
