Vector-borne Trypanosoma brucei parasites develop in artificial human skin and persist as skin tissue forms

This study tracks Trypanosoma brucei development in artificial human skin, identifying a quiescent state called skin tissue forms that may sustain infection.

Unexpected plasticity in the life cycle of Trypanosoma brucei

This study shows that proliferating slender stage Trypanosoma brucei can infect tsetse flies as effectively as stumpy stages, challenging the traditional view of the parasite's life cycle.
