Journal Article
Paape, D., Prendergast, C., Price, H., Doehl, J., & Smith, D. (2020). Genetic validation of Leishmania genes essential for amastigote survival in vivo using N-myristoyltransferase as a model. Parasites and Vectors, 13, Article 132. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-020-3999-1

Background: Proving that specifc genes are essential for the intracellular viability of Leishmania parasites within
macrophages remains a challenge for the identifcation of suitable targets for drug development. This is especially
evident in the ab... Read More about Genetic validation of Leishmania genes essential for amastigote survival in vivo using N-myristoyltransferase as a model.

Trypanosoma brucei are extracellular kinetoplastid parasites transmitted by the blood-sucking tsetse fly. They are responsible for the fatal disease human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), also known as sleeping sickness. In late-stage infection, trypan... Read More about Imaging African trypanosomes.
