Abstract: | Background The protozoan pathogen, Trypanosoma brucei, undergoes complex cycles of differentiation and multiplication in its vector, the tsetse fly, genus Glossina. Flies are refractory to infection and resistance mechanisms operate at a number of levels and timepoints. Here we have used
highly conspicuous green fluorescent trypanosomes to study the early events in establishment of infection in the fly midgut. |
