Immune Response in Cattle Trypanosomosis and Trypanotolerance: Main Findings and Gaps [PDF]
Parasite Immunology, Volume 46, Issue 11, November 2024.ABSTRACT Trypanosome parasites of the genus Trypanosoma cause African animal trypanosomosis, a devastating livestock disease plaguing sub‐Saharan Africa. Unlike many protozoan parasites, these extracellular blood‐borne pathogens directly engage the host's immune system. While the mouse model has provided valuable insights, a comprehensive understanding
