African trypanosomes thrive in the bloodstream and tissue spaces of a wide range of
mammalian hosts. Infections of cattle cause an enormous socio-economic burden in sub …

Microorganisms, particularly parasites, have developed sophisticated swimming
mechanisms to cope with a varied range of environments. African Trypanosomes, causative …

Blood is a remarkable habitat: it is highly viscous, contains a dense packaging of cells and
perpetually flows at velocities varying over three orders of magnitude. Only few pathogens …

Motility of the sleeping sickness parasite, Trypanosoma brucei, impacts disease
transmission and pathogenesis. Trypanosome motility is driven by a flagellum that harbors a …

Trypanosomes are important disease agents of humans, livestock and cold-blooded
species, including fish. The cellular morphology of trypanosomes is central to their motility …

Cell shape is one, often overlooked, way in which protozoan parasites have adapted to a
variety of host and vector environments and directional transmissions between these …

Trypanosoma brucei is a pathogenic unicellular eukaryote that infects humans and other
mammals in sub-Saharan Africa. A central feature of trypanosome biology is the single …

Movement of microbial pathogens plays an important role in pathogen biology, host-
pathogen interaction, and disease pathogenesis. Microbial pathogens employ a variety of …

The single flagellum of Leishmania and Trypanosoma parasites is becoming an increasingly
attractive model for the analysis of flagellar function—driven largely by the abundance of …

In the unicellular parasite Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of human African
sleeping sickness, complex swimming behavior is driven by a flagellum laterally attached to …
