The Flagellar Arginine Kinase in Trypanosoma brucei Is Important for Infection in Tsetse Flies.

The Flagellar Arginine Kinase in Trypanosoma brucei Is Important for Infection in Tsetse Flies.

African trypanosomes are flagellated parasites that cause sleeping sickness. Parasites are transmitted from one mammalian host to another by the bite of a tsetse fly.
