Antigenic diversity is generated by distinct evolutionary mechanisms in African trypanosome species [PDF]
Antigenic variation enables pathogens to avoid the host immune response by continual switching of surface proteins. The protozoan blood parasite Trypanosoma brucei causes human African trypanosomiasis ("sleeping sickness") across sub-Saharan Africa and ...
