Development of an imaging model of a CNS infection with African trypanosomes

2015-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The study of late-stage human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) within mouse models is lengthy and complex, with the removal of brain tissue being required to monitor parasitic burden. This results in the inability to track real-time infections within the central nervous system (CNS). With nearly 70 million people at risk of HAT infection in Africa every year, research into new drug therapies which are capable of cros...
