Abstract excerpt
Bodo is a cosmopolitan genus of free-living bacterivorous single-celled flagellates in the class Kinetoplastea. Genus Bodo is considered the closest free-living lineage to the parasitic lineages Trypanosoma and Leishmania, the causative agents of the human diseases sleeping sickness, Chagas disease and leishmaniasis. Currently, a single genome exists for the one formally described species in the genus, Bodo...
