Assessing the Crucial Role of IgMs Against the Parasitosis of Salivarian Trypanosomes Ghent University
Salivarian trypanosomes are single-celled extracellular parasites that reside in the blood, lymphatics, and various tissues. They cause infections in humans, livestock, and game animals. Trypanosomes thrive in plain sight of the immune system, by deploying multiple evolutionary acquired evasion strategies, which aim at avoiding antibody-mediated destruction as much as possible.
