The trypanosome flagellum [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2003 African Trypanosomes are flagellated protozoan parasites that cause sleeping sickness in humans and Nagana in cattle. During its life cycle, Trypanosoma brucei alternates between an insect vector (tsetse fly) and a mammalian host.

Disruption of Leishmania flagellum attachment zone architecture causes flagellum loss
Molecular Microbiology, 2023 AbstractLeishmania are flagellated eukaryotic parasites that cause leishmaniasis and are closely related to the other kinetoplastid parasites such as Trypanosoma brucei. In all these parasites there is a cell membrane invagination at the base of the flagellum called the flagellar pocket, which is tightly associated with and sculpted by cytoskeletal ...

Giant FAZ10 is required for flagellum attachment zone stabilization and furrow positioning in Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
, 2017 The flagellum and flagellum attachment zone (FAZ) are important cytoskeletal structures in trypanosomatids, being required for motility, cell division and cell morphogenesis.

Alternative mechanism for bacteriophage adsorption to the motile bacterium Caulobacter crescentus [PDF]
, 2011 2D and 3D cryo-electron microscopy, together with adsorption kinetics assays of ϕCb13 and ϕCbK phage-infected Caulobacter crescentus, provides insight into the mechanisms of infection.

The Flagellum of Trypanosomes [PDF]
, 2005 Eukaryotic cilia and flagella are cytoskeletal organelles that are remarkably conserved from protists to mammals. Their basic unit is the axoneme, a well-defined cylindrical structure composed of microtubules and up to 250 associated proteins. These complex organelles are assembled by a dynamic process called intraflagellar transport.

Dependency relationships between IFT-dependent flagellum elongation and cell morphogenesis in Leishmania [PDF]
Open Biology, 2018 Flagella have multiple functions that are associated with different axonemal structures. Motile flagella typically have a 9 + 2 arrangement of microtubules, whereas sensory flagella normally have a 9 + 0 arrangement.

Predicting the locations of force-generating dyneins in beating cilia and flagella
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Cilia and flagella are slender cylindrical organelles whose bending waves propel cells through fluids and drive fluids across epithelia. The bending waves are generated by dynein motor proteins, ATPases whose force-generating activity changes over time ...

Patterns of antenal sensilla of Panstrongylus megistus from three Brazilian states [PDF]
, 2005 The objective of the present study was to analyze and describe the phenotype of the antennal sensilla of Panstrongylus megistus, one of the epidemiologically most important species of triatomines in Brazil.
