The African trypanosomes remain well recognised for their role as an interesting model
eukaryote for basic science, but are loosing ground in their ability to contribute to …

This essay contrasts the on-going scientific effort to characterize trypanosome biochemistry
and molecular biology and to resolve the host: parasite relationship, with the pressing need …

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

'Trypanosomiasis' in general refers to a collection of parasitic diseases caused by both
extracellular and intracellular protozoan parasites. This book will focus mainly on the …

African trypanosomes are vector-borne protozoa, which cause significant human and animal
disease across sub-Saharan Africa, and animal disease across Asia and South America. In …

African trypanosomes are tsetse-transmitted protozoa that inhabit the extracellular
compartment of host blood. They cause fatal sleeping sickness in people, and Nagana, a …

The parasitic trypanosomatids cause lethal and debilitating diseases, the leishmaniases,
