Pteridines and the Nutrition of the Protozoon Crithidia fasciculata.
SummaryThe Trypanosomid flagellate Crithidia fasciculata was found to have a growth requirement for certain 6-substituted pteridines. The most active compound studied was 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6 (1′, 2′-dihydroxy-propyl) pteridine (“biopterin”) which was isolated from human urine. A requirement for both pteroylglutamic acid and an appropriate pteridine was

The cell coat ofCrithidia fasciculata
SummaryA prominent filamentous and granular cell coat is associated with the plasma membraneof haptomonads ofCrithidia fasciculataattached to the cuticular lining of the hindgut ofAnopheles gambiae. This surface material is completely absent from morphologically identical haptomonads from the mosquito foregut and from rosettes in culture.

Future trypanosomatid phylogenies: refined homologies, supertrees and networks
There has been good progress in inferring the evolutionary relationships within trypanosomes from DNA data as until relatively recently, many relationships have remained rather speculative.
