A Trypanosome Structure Involved in Transmitting Cytoplasmic Information During Cell Division
19 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
African trypanosomes are protozoan parasites that cause sleeping sickness in humans through a tsetse fly vector. The procyclic form of Trypanosoma brucei has a single, attached flagellum that describes a helical path along the cell from posterior to anterior.
