Mechanisms of life cycle simplification in African trypanosomes

2024-07-12

Abstract excerpt

African trypanosomes are important parasites in sub-Saharan Africa that undergo a quorum-sensing dependent development to morphologically stumpy forms in mammalian hosts to favour disease transmission by tsetse flies 1 . However, some trypanosome lineages have simplified their lifecycle by escaping dependence on tsetse allowing an expanded geographical range, with direct transmission between hosts achieved via bi...
