This paper presents a telomere-telomere genome assembly of Trypanosoma congolense, revealing distinct VSG organization and expression mechanisms compared to Trypanosoma brucei.

The paper analyzes antigenic variation in Trypanosoma brucei during chronic bovine infections, revealing enhanced diversity and a reproducible temporal expression hierarchy of VSGs.

This study compares lipidomic profiles of Trypanosoma congolense and Trypanosoma brucei to understand their metabolic differences and implications for in vitro culture and therapy development.

This study develops a workflow to analyze mutation spectra across mammals, finding convergent evolution in mutation rates among species.

This paper develops a Cas10-based lateral flow assay for detecting 7SL-sRNA in cattle with active trypanosomiasis, showing high sensitivity and specificity during chronic infection phases.

This study identifies cryptic stumpy-like T. brucei forms in cattle with low parasitaemia, challenging rodent-based assumptions about stumpy form differentiation.

This study identifies factors contributing to trypanocide failure in cattle with African animal trypanosomosis in Tanzania, finding drug quality, improper use, and resistance as key issues.

This study presents a continent-wide genomic analysis of African buffalo, revealing three main lineages and signatures of selection related to immune response.

This study shows that co-housed infected tsetse flies can contaminate naive flies with T. brucei DNA via faeces, leading to overestimation of infection prevalence in xenomonitoring.

The paper identifies a genetic locus associated with tolerance to Theileria parva infection in cattle, showing a strong heritability and replication across cohorts.

The paper compares the genetic diversity of Theileria annulata in cattle and water buffalo in Pakistan, finding higher diversity in cattle-derived populations.

This study uses long-read sequencing to analyze VSG diversity in T. brucei infections, revealing higher expressed diversity and early mosaic gene formation than previously observed.
