Flagellum inheritance in Trypanosoma brucei requires a kinetoplastid-specific protein phosphatase
17 Apr 2018
Abstract excerpt
Trypanosoma brucei causes sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in cattle in sub-Saharan Africa and alternates between its mammalian hosts and its insect vector, the tsetse fly. T. brucei uses a flagellum for motility, cell division, and cell–cell communication.
