Recent studies showed that the formation of elegant geometric patterns by communities of
Trypanosoma brucei on semi-solid surfaces, dubbed social motility (SoMo) by its …

Growing significance of glycosylation in protein functions has accelerated the development
of methodologies for detection, identification, and characterization of protein glycosylation. In …

The bumblebee Bombus terrestris is commonly infected by a trypanosomatid gut parasite
Crithidia bombi. This system shows a striking degree of genetic specificity where host …

Fucosylation, or the attachment of a fucose moiety to a glycan or protein by the action of
fucosyltransferases, happens extensively in all living organisms. It plays a vital role in …

Protein N-glycosylation is a post-translational modification where complex carbohydrates (or
glycans) are covalently attached to polypeptides at sequon-specific asparagine residues. N …

Many arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, bugs, and flies are vectors for the transmission
of pathogenic parasites, bacteria, and viruses. Among these, the unicellular parasite …
