A conserved trypanosomatid differentiation regulator controls substrate attachment and morphological development in Trypanosoma congolense (2024)
Journal Article
Silvester, E., Szoor, B., Ivens, A., Awuah-Mensah, G., Gadelha, C., Wickstead, B., & Matthews, K. R. (2024). A conserved trypanosomatid differentiation regulator controls substrate attachment and morphological development in Trypanosoma congolense. PLoS Pathogens, 20(2), Article e1011889. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1011889

Trypanosomatid parasites undergo developmental regulation to adapt to the different environments encountered during their life cycle. In Trypanosoma brucei, a genome wide selectional screen previously identified a regulator of the protein family ESAG...

Animal African Trypanosomiasis (AAT) is a debilitating livestock disease prevalent across sub-Saharan Africa, a main cause of which is the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma congolense. In comparison to the well-studied T. brucei, there is a major paucit...
