This project investigates how African trypanosomes, parasites that cause disease in humans and livestock, use a specific kinase to communicate and regulate their population density. By understanding this signaling pathway, the research aims to shed light on the development of transmission stages, which could inform str…
African trypanosomes are parasites that cause disease in both humans and livestock throughout sub Saharan Africa, leading to death and hardship in afflicted regions.
The disease is spread by blood-feeding tsetse flies and trypanosomes use sophisticated mechanisms to sense their environment in order to optimise their chances of transmission.
In particular, whilst in the host bloodstream trypanosomes communicate with one another to monitor their own population density, this determining when they p…
