Flagellar cAMP signaling controls trypanosome progression through host tissues

Trypanosoma brucei probably relies on chemotactic signals for movement through tsetse fly tissues, but the molecular basis is unknown. Here, the authors show that flagellar cAMP signaling is required for traversal of the peritrophic matrix and that, without it, parasites are trapped in the midgut lu...

Sumario:Trypanosoma brucei probably relies on chemotactic signals for movement through tsetse fly tissues, but the molecular basis is unknown. Here, the authors show that flagellar cAMP signaling is required for traversal of the peritrophic matrix and that, without it, parasites are trapped in the midgut lumen.
