During the bloodstream stage of the Trypanosoma brucei lifecycle, the parasite exists as the proliferative slender-form or the non-proliferative, transmissible, stumpy-form. The transition from the slender to stumpy-form is stimulated by a density-dependent mechanism and is important in infection dy...
ORGANISM(S): Trypanosoma brucei brucei 
mRNA expression profiles of trypanosomes from two discrete bloodstream form stages of the parasite (slender and stumpy forms), as well as during the transition of the stumpy population to the procyclic life-cycle stage were studied. Our analysis represents the first comparison of in vivo derived ple...
ORGANISM(S): Trypanosoma brucei 
The gene expression of Trypanosoma brucei has been examined extensively in the blood of mammalian hosts and in forms found in the midgut of its arthropod vector, the tsetse fly. However, trypanosomes also undergo development within the mammalian bloodstream as they progress from morphologically M-bM...
ORGANISM(S): Trypanosoma brucei brucei 
In the mammalian bloodstream, proliferative slender forms of T. brucei differentiate into cell cycle-arrested stumpy forms (stumpy-QS) via a quorum sensing mechanism triggered by high parasite density. This transition is thought to protect the host from excessive parasitaemia while preparing the par...

Trypanosoma brucei are protozoan parasites that cause sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in cattle. Inside the mammalian host, a quorum sensing-like mechanism coordinates its differentiation from a slender replicative form into a quiescent stumpy form, limiting growth and virulence. SUMOylation ...

Trypanosomes causing African sleeping sickness use quorum sensing to control the production of transmission-competent stumpy forms in their mammalian hosts. This density-dependent process is signalled by the release of parasite peptidases whose action generates oligopeptides that stimulate the signa...
