Abstract excerpt
Two cloned drug-sensitive stocks of Trypanosoma brucei (STIB 247 and STIB 386) were each used to generate cloned lines expressing resistance to the melaminophenyl arsenical drug cymelarsan (247MelCyR and 386MelCyR) and to suramin (247SurR and 386SurR). The drug-resistance phenotypes were stable after passaging in mice in the absence of drug pressure and three of the lines were transmitted through tsetse flies...
