Comparison of the effects of immune killing mechanisms on Trypanosoma brucei parasites of slender and stumpy morphology
1 Aug 1993
Abstract excerpt
Trypanosoma brucei slender forms predominate over stumpy forms as the parasite population grows but at the peak of a parasitaemic wave and during remission of infection stumpy forms predominate. To determine whether this change in predominance might be caused by selective killing of slender forms, the fates of slender and stumpy form trypanosomes in two in vitro assays of immune-mediated killing were compared....
