Trypanosoma vivax causes animal trypanosomiasis across Africa and South America. An accurate genome sequence is essential to functional genetics and the design of novel diagnostics, drugs and vaccines. Our aim is to improve the existing T. vivax Y486 reference genome assembly to understand the basis...

Measurement of variant surface glycoprotein mRNA using RNAseq
In temperate and sub-tropical regions of Latin America, complicated malaria manifested as hepatic dysfunction or renal dysfunction is seen in all age groups. There has been a concerted focus on understanding the patho-physiological and molecular basis of complicated malaria in children, much less is...
ORGANISM(S): Plasmodium falciparum 
The African trypanosome Trypanosoma brucei is a unicellular eukaryote, which relies on a protective Variant Surface Glycoprotein (VSG) coat for survival in the mammalian host. A single trypanosome has >2000 VSG genes and pseudogenes of which only one is expressed from one of ~15 telomeric bloodstre...

Trypanosoma congolense Variant Surface Glycoprotein gene expression occurs in the absence of monoallelic transcription control
Salivarian trypanosomes cause human sleeping sickness and economically important livestock diseases, transmitted by Tsetse flies and replicating extracellularly throughout the life cycle. The surface of "bloodstream forms", which live within mammals, is coated by a monolayer of a Variant Surface Gly...

TbSAP is a novel chromatin protein repressing metacyclic Variant Surface Glycoprotein expression sites in bloodstream form Trypanosoma brucei
Variant Surface Glycoproteins (VSG) coat parasitic African trypanosomes and underpin antigenic variation and immune evasion. This VSG is a super-abundant virulence factor that is subject to post-transcriptional gene expression controls mediated via the VSG 3’-untranslated region (3’-UTR). To identif...

Antigenic variation is a very widespread process for pathogen evasion of mammalian adaptive immunity, involving the continuous change of exposed antigens. In many single-celled pathogens, antigen expression during antigenic variation is monoallelic: just a single gene from a large family is expresse...
