Novel molecular mechanism for targeting the parasite Trypanosoma brucei with snake venom toxins
Abstract
Trypanosoma brucei is a parasitic protozoan species capable to infecting insect vectors whose bite further produces African sleeping sickness inhuman beings. During parasites’extracellular lives in the mammalian host, its outer coat, mainly composedof Variable surface glycoproteins (VSGs)[2], undergoes enormous variation in its composition to avoid the host’s lytic immunogenic.
