Antigen discovery in Trypanosoma vivax

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Trypanosoma vivax is a major animal pathogen causing African Animal Trypanosomiasis (AAT) in livestock across Africa and South America. No vaccine is available for AAT due to antigenic variation of the Variant Surface Glycoprotein (VSG) coating the parasite surface, which leads to effective immune evasion. However, the T. vivax genome contains diverse species-specific genes that encode cell-surface proteins (TvCSP...
