This study identifies glycerol as a trigger for Trypanosoma brucei differentiation into transmissible forms under tissue-like conditions, challenging the traditional bloodstream model of transmission.

The paper adapts the SHERLOCK CRISPR-based detection tool for trypanosome species in pigs to improve AAT diagnostics and identify human-infectious trypanosome reservoirs.

This study compares the infectivity of slender and stumpy bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma brucei in adult tsetse flies, finding stumpy forms more effective in infecting immune competent flies.

This study shows that oxidative phosphorylation is essential for Trypanosoma brucei migration within tsetse flies but not for initial colonization.

This study uses scRNA-seq to analyze Trypanosoma brucei development in tsetse fly salivary glands, revealing dynamic VSG gene activation and monoallelic expression establishment.
