Repeat-driven generation of antigenic diversity in a major human pathogen <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i>

2018-03-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Trypanosoma cruzi , a zoonotic kinetoplastid protozoan with a complex genome, is the causative agent of American trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease). The parasite uses a highly diverse repertoire of surface molecules, with roles in cell invasion, immune evasion and pathogenesis. Thus far, the genomic regions containing these genes have been impossible to resolve and it has been impossible to study...
