Identification of <em>T. brucei</em>-subgroup strains isolated from game (Publications)
Several T. brucei-subgroup strains isolated from game were investigated with the blood incubation infectivity test (BIIT) and in human volunteers. Original isolates and their clones derivatives were t
Distribution and attachment of <em>Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense</em> in the proximal part of the proboscis of<em> Glossina morsitans... (Publications)
The distribution and attachment of Trypanosoma congolense were investigated in the proximal part of the proboscis of Glossina m. morsitans. In the food canal, epimastigotes and trypomastigotes formed
Studies on antigenic variation of cyclically transmitted <em>Trypanosoma congolense</em> (Publications)
Antigenic variants of T. congolense transmitted by G. m. morsitans through normal and X-irradiated mice were investigated by means of the neutralization test and IFAT. Clones of a cyclically passaged
KvarQ: targeted and direct variant calling from fastq reads of bacterial genomes (Publications)
BACKGROUND: High-throughput DNA sequencing produces vast amounts of data, with millions of short reads that usually have to be mapped to a reference genome or newly assembled. Both reference-based map
Genome and phylogenetic analyses of <em>Trypanosoma evansi</em> reveal extensive similarity to <em>T. brucei </em>and multiple independent origins for... (Publications)
Two key biological features distinguish Trypanosoma evansi from the T. brucei group: independence from the tsetse fly as obligatory vector, and independence from the need for functional mitochondrial
