Abstract:
... During natural as well as experimental African trypanosomiasis, a range of severity of disease patterns is associated with different host-trypanosome combinations. As compared to Trypanosoma congolense, Trypanosoma brucei causes a pathogenic infection in C57BL/6 mice associated with important tissue ...
