vsgseq2: an updated pipeline for analysis of the diversity and abundance of population-wide <i>Trypanosoma brucei</i> VSG expression

2025-09-17

Abstract excerpt

Trypanosoma brucei is an extracellular eukaryotic parasite that causes sleeping sickness in humans and Nagana, Surra and Dourine in livestock, game animals and horses. The parasite displays an extensive immune evasion mechanism, utilising the expression and ability to switch antigenically distinct variant surface glycoprotein (VSG) coats. VSG encoding genes account for ~10% of the T. brucei genome, and mosaic VSG...
