Population genetics of trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense: clonality and diversity within and between foci [PDF]

, 2013
African trypanosomes are unusual among pathogenic protozoa in that they can undergo their complete morphological life cycle in the tsetse fly vector with mating as a non-obligatory part of this development.

Novel African trypanocidal agents: membrane rigidifying peptides [PDF]

, 2012
The bloodstream developmental forms of pathogenic African trypanosomes are uniquely susceptible to killing by small hydrophobic peptides. Trypanocidal activity is conferred by peptide hydrophobicity and charge distribution and results from increased ...
