Mouse models for pathogenic African trypanosomes: unravelling the immunology of host-parasite-vector interactions Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
African trypanosomiasis is a parasitic disease that affects a variety of mammals, including humans, on the sub-Saharan African continent. To understand the diverse parameters that govern the host-parasite-vector interactions, mouse models for the disease have proven to be a cornerstone. Despite the fact that most trypanosomes cannot be considered natural pathogens for rodents, experimental infections in mice have shed a tremendous amount of ...
