Transient superdiffusion and long-range correlations in the motility patterns of trypanosomatid flagellate protozoa [PDF]

PLoS ONE 11(3): e0152092 (2016), 2016
We report on a diffusive analysis of the motion of flagellate protozoa species. These parasites are the etiological agents of neglected tropical diseases: leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania amazonensis and Leishmania braziliensis, African sleeping sickness caused by Trypanosoma brucei, and Chagas disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi.
