The first RNA viruses detected in a trypanosome: novel narnaviruses and a leishmaniavirus in the gecko parasite <i>Trypanosoma platydactyli</i>

2025-12-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Trypanosomatids are parasitic flagellates best known for human pathogens causing sleeping sickness, Chagas disease, and leishmaniasis. RNA viruses infecting these protists have recently gained attention for their role in disease severity. While numerous such viruses have been described in Leishmania and several other trypanosomatid genera, none have previously been documented in the iconic ge...
