What happens when Trypanosoma brucei leaves Africa.

Trends in parasitology - 1 Oct 2008

Jensen Robert E, Simpson Larry, Englund Paul T

Abstract excerpt

Julius Lukes and co-workers evaluated the evolutionary origin of Trypanosoma equiperdum and Trypanosoma evansi, parasites that cause horse and camel diseases. Although similar to T. brucei, the sleeping-sickness parasite, these trypanosomes do not cycle through the tsetse fly and have been able to spread beyond Africa. Transmission occurs sexually, or via blood-sucking flies or vampire bats. They concluded that...
