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.

ROS and Trypanosoma cruzi: Fuel to infection, poison to the heart
PLoS Pathogens, 2018 The activation of macrophage respiratory burst in response to infection with Trypanosoma cruzi inflicts oxidative damage to the host’s tissues. For decades, the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the elimination of T.
