Repetitive proteins from the flagellar cytoskeleton of African trypanosomes are diagnostically useful antigens [PDF]
Trypanosome infection of mammalian hosts leads, within days, to a strong early response against a small, distinct number of parasite proteins. One of these proteins is the variable surface glycoprotein (VSG).

Anti-trypanosomal 8-hydroxyl naphthyridines are chelators of divalent transition metals [PDF]
The lack of information regarding the mechanisms of action (MoA) or specific molecular targets of phenotypically active compounds can prove a barrier to their development as chemotherapeutic agents.

Trypanosome outer kinetochore proteins suggest conservation of chromosome segregation machinery across eukaryotes [PDF]
Kinetochores are multiprotein complexes that couple eukaryotic chromosomes to the mitotic spindle to ensure proper segregation. The model for kinetochore assembly is conserved between humans and yeast, and homologues of several components are widely ...
