Cryptosporidium is a protozoan parasite of medical and veterinary importance that causes
gastroenteritis in a variety of vertebrate hosts. Several studies have reported different …

Chagas disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi affects millions of people.
Although its first genome dates from 2005, its complexity hindered a complete assembly and …

The Trypanosoma cruzi genome contains the most widely expanded content (∼ 12,000
genes) of the trypanosomatids sequenced to date. This expansion is reflected in the high …

Chagas disease is a complex illness caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi
displaying highly diverse clinical outcomes. In this sense, the genome sequence elucidation …

The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi is the etiologic agent of Chagas disease, a
highly debilitating human pathology that affects millions of people in the Americas. The …

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 …

Trypanosoma cruzi, a zoonotic kinetoplastid protozoan parasite, is the causative agent of
American trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease). Having a very plastic, repetitive and complex …

Trypanosoma brucei is a kinetoplastid parasite that causes African trypanosomiasis, which
is fatal if left untreated. T. brucei regularly switches its major surface antigen, VSG, to evade …

Toxoplasma has high host flexibility, infecting all nucleated cells of mammals and birds. This
implies that during its infective process the parasite must constantly adapt to different …

Background The subtelomeres of many protozoa are highly enriched in genes with roles in
niche adaptation. T. cruzi trypomastigotes express surface proteins from Trans-Sialidase …
