Trypanosoma brucei gambiense adaptation to different mammalian sera is associated with VSG expression site plasticity.
Trypanosoma brucei gambiense infection is widely considered an anthroponosis, although it has also been found in wild and domestic animals. Thus, fauna could act as reservoir, constraining the elimination of the parasite in hypo-endemic foci. To better understand the possible maintenance of T. b. ga...
