Active transcription and ultrastructural changes during Trypanosoma cruzi metacyclogenesis

Active transcription and ultrastructural changes during Trypanosoma cruzi metacyclogenesis

The differentiation of proliferating epimastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi , the protozoan parasite that causes Chagas’ disease, into the infective and non-proliferating metacyclic forms can be reproduced in the laboratory by incubating the cells in a chemically-defined medium that mimics the urin...
