Genetic exchange has not been shown to be a mechanism underlying the extensive
diversity of Leishmania parasites. We report here evidence that the invertebrate stages of …

The cell surface of Trypanosoma brucei, like many protistan blood parasites, is crucial for
mediating host-parasite interactions and is instrumental to the initiation, maintenance and …

The kinetoplastids are a widespread and important group of single-celled eukaryotes, many
of which are devastating parasites of animals, including humans [1–3]. We have discovered …

Trypanosoma brucei undergoes major biochemical and morphological changes during its
development from the bloodstream form in the mammalian host to the procyclic form in the …

Abstract The African trypanosome, Trypanosoma brucei, has developed into a flexible and
robust experimental model for molecular and cellular parasitology, allowing us to better …

Background Trypanosomatids utilise polycistronic transcription for production of the vast
majority of protein-coding mRNAs, which operates in the absence of gene-specific …

Trypanosoma brucei is a model trypanosomatid, an important group of human, animal and
plant unicellular parasites. Understanding their complex cell architecture and life cycle is …

Intracellular colonization and persistent infection by the kinetoplastid protozoan parasite,
Trypanosoma cruzi, underlie the pathogenesis of human Chagas disease. To obtain global …

Sequences of the small rRNA genes and partial sequences of the large rRNA genes were
obtained by PCR amplification from a variety of vertebrate trypanosomes. The trypanosome …

Unraveling the intricate interactions between Trypanosoma brucei, the protozoan parasite
causing African trypanosomiasis, and the tsetse (Glossina) vector remains a challenge …
