Abstract excerpt
Trypanosomatid pathogens are transmitted by blood-feeding insects, causing devastating human infections. These parasites show important phenotypic shifts that often impact parasite pathogenicity, tissue tropism, or drug susceptibility. The evolutionary mechanisms that allow for the selection of such adaptive phenotypes remain only poorly investigated. Here, we use Leishmania donovani as a trypanosomatid model...
