Trypanosoma forming in a blood smear from a patient with African trypanosomiasis. By Dr. Myron G. Schultz, then at the [https://phil.cdc.gov/details.aspx?pid=613


By Ifeatu Menakaya


The topic of my paper is Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (or T.b. gambiense), a subspecies of the genus Trypanosoma, in the subgenus trypanozoon. T.b. gambiense is a parasitic kinetoplastid carried by Glossina, more commonly known as the Tsetse fly, native only to certain parts of rural sub-saharan Africa. However, T.b. gambiense is most commonly found in West and Central Africa, while a similar subspecies of the genus T.b. rhodesiense is present in Eastern Africa.

This microbe is most notable for causing the feared West African trypanosomiasis. Without treatment, West African trypanosomiasis is deadly. What is your research question? What experiments have addressed your question? Applications for medicine and/or environment?
