Flagellum inheritance in Trypanosoma brucei requires a kinetoplastid-specific protein phosphatase
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2018 Trypanosoma brucei causes sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in cattle in sub-Saharan Africa and alternates between its mammalian hosts and its insect vector, the tsetse fly. T.

Parasites & Vectors, 2012 Background Parasites of the Leishmania genus alternate between the flagellated extracellular promastigote stage and intracellular amastigotes. Here we report the characterization of a Leishmania isolate, obtained from a cutaneous leishmaniasis patient ...

Shape of optimal active flagella
, 2013 Many eukaryotic cells use the active waving motion of flexible flagella to self-propel in viscous fluids. However, the criteria governing the selection of particular flagellar waveforms among all possible shapes has proved elusive so far. To address this

Physics of Rheologically-Enhanced Propulsion: Different Strokes in Generalized Stokes [PDF]
, 2013 Shear-thinning is an important rheological property of many biological fluids, such as mucus, whereby the apparent viscosity of the fluid decreases with shear.

The Periplasmic Flagellum of Spirochetes
Microbial Physiology, 2004 Although spirochete periplasmic flagella have many features similar to typical bacterial flagella, they are unique in their structure and internal periplasmic location. This location provides advantages for pathogenic spirochetes to enter and to adapt in the appropriate host, and to penetrate through matrices that inhibit the motility of most other ...

Phylogenetic analysis of the Camaenidae (Mollusca: Stylommatophora) with special emphasis on the american taxa [PDF]
, 2003 The monophyly of the land snail family Camaenidae has been in doubt due to a disjunct bihemispheric distributional pattern and to the lack of morphological synapomorphies.

Journal of Cell Science, 2016 Leishmania promastigote parasites have a flagellum, which protrudes from the flagellar pocket at the cell anterior, yet, surprisingly, have homologs of many flagellum attachment zone (FAZ) proteins – proteins used in the related Trypanosoma species to ...

Bee Parasites: Don’t Lose Your Flagellum [PDF]
Current Biology, 2019 Bees can protect themselves from infection by accumulating specific nectars in the honey crop. A new study shows that as parasites pass through the crop, their flagellum is thereby removed, which prevents host infection.
