Will the real Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense please step forward?

Trends in parasitology - 1 Nov 2002

Gibson Wendy

Abstract excerpt

The sleeping sickness trypanosomes Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and T. brucei gambiense are morphologically indistinguishable from each other and from T. brucei brucei, which does not infect humans. The relationships between these three subspecies have been controversial. Several years ago, the characterization of T. brucei gambiense was reviewed in an attempt to clarify and draw together the results, and to...
