Trypanosoma congolense: In Vitro Culture and Transfection [PDF]
AbstractTrypanosoma congolense, together with T. vivax and T. brucei, causes African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT), or nagana, a livestock disease carried by bloodsucking tsetse flies in sub‐Saharan Africa. These parasitic protists cycle between two hosts: mammal and tsetse fly.

Role for parasite genetic diversity in differential host responses to Trypanosoma brucei infection [PDF]
The postgenomic era has revolutionized approaches to defining host-pathogen interactions and the investigation of the influence of genetic variation in either protagonist upon infection outcome.

Characterisation of the surface coat of Trypanosoma congolense
THE protozoan parasites Trypanosoma congolense, T. brucei and T. vivax cause extensive disease problems to livestock in Africa1. In many cases trypanosomiasis results from mixed infections due to all three species2. Immunisation has not been successful because of the ability of the parasites to evade the host immune response by changing the antigenic ...
