Genetic and immunological basis of human African trypanosomiasis.

Current opinion in immunology - 1 Oct 2021

Pays Etienne, Nolan Derek P

Abstract excerpt

Human African trypanosomiasis, or sleeping sickness, results from infection by two subspecies of the protozoan flagellate parasite Trypanosoma brucei, termed Trypanosoma brucei gambiense and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, prevalent in western and eastern Africa respectively. These subspecies escape the trypanolytic potential of human serum, which efficiently acts against the prototype species Trypanosoma brucei...
