Developmental changes and metabolic reprogramming during establishment of infection and progression of <i>Trypanosoma brucei brucei</i> through its insect host
2021-05-26
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Trypanosoma brucei ssp., unicellular parasites causing human and animal trypanosomiasis, are transmitted between mammals by tsetse flies. Periodic changes in variant surface glycoproteins (VSG), which form the parasite coat in the mammal, allow them to evade the host immune response. Different isolates of T. brucei show heterogeneity in their repertoires of VSG genes and have single nucleotide...
