Molecular epidemiology of African trypanosomiasis: the contributions of David George Godfrey OBE to the biochemical characterization of trypanosomes.

Parasite (Paris, France) - 1 Sept 2008

Gibson W

Abstract excerpt

The accurate identification of the causative organisms of disease is fundamental to the study of epidemiology. Hence molecular tools are now widely used to detect and distinguish pathogens, and have greatly improved our understanding of epidemiology. David Godfrey pioneered the use of molecular markers in the epidemiology of African trypanosomiasis, thus enabling the light of reliable evidence to shine on this...
