High-throughput hit-squad tackles trypanosomes

Alexander D Cook et al. Trends Parasitol. 2021 Sep.

Abstract

African trypanosomes cause diseases of humans and their livestock. To date, a much-desired vaccine has been elusive, due in part to the immune evasion mechanisms of these cunning parasites. However, Autheman et al. have used a bold, high-throughput screen to provide hope that vaccines may be on the way.

Keywords: invariant surface proteins; trypanosomes; vaccines.
