Background Trypanosoma rangeli is a hemoflagellate protozoan parasite infecting humans
and other wild and domestic mammals across Central and South America. It does not cause …

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 …

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

Many high-quality genomes are available for dixenous (two hosts) trypanosomatid species

Background In contrast to the essentially fully assembled genome sequences of the
kinetoplastid pathogens Leishmania major and Trypanosoma brucei the assembly of the …

The genome of Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of African trypanosomiasis, was
published five years ago, yet identification of all genes and their transcripts remains to be …

One of the first steps in understanding a protein's function is to determine its localization;
however, the methods for localizing proteins in some systems have not kept pace with the …
