Detection of Antibodies Against the African Parasite <i>Trypanosoma brucei</i> Using Synthetic glycosylphosphatidylinositol oligosaccharide fragments

2024-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Trypanosoma brucei ( T. brucei ) parasites cause two major infectious diseases in Africa: African trypanosomiasis in humans (HAT) and Nagana in animals. Despite the enormous economic and social impact, vaccines and reliable diagnostic measures are still lacking for these diseases. The main obstacle to developing accurate diagnostic methods and an active vaccine is the parasite’s ability for antigenic variation an...
