African Trypanosomes Find a Fat Haven

Stephen M Beverley. Cell Host Microbe. .

Abstract

The African trypanosome was thought to primarily develop in the bloodstream and interstitial spaces of its mammalian host. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Trindade et al. (2016) report the surprising finding that during ongoing persistent infections in mice, a major fraction of the parasites reside within fatty tissues.
