Genes linked to deadly parasites’ spread beyond Africa identified. Parasites that cause the deadly illness known as sleeping sickness can spread beyond their native Africa as a result of mutations to key genes. @keithrmatthews.bsky.social @goldrieve.bsky.social Full article: shorturl.at/9jlGS

What good way to start with Bluesky! Delighted to share our paper on how non-tsetse transmitted trypanosomes lose the ability to make stumpy forms (and adapt to the monomorphic life style) and so can spread outside Africa. A great reward after years of hard work from Guy Oldrieve ! rdcu.be/d13YK

Excited to share our work on life cycle simplification (monomorphism) in Trypanosoma brucei in Nature Comms @natureportfolio.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
