Talk:Variant Surface Glycoproteins (VSGs) of Trypanosomes

I thought you did a great job! You covered this topic from all angles; epidemiology/public health concerns, economic implications, molecular biology, current research. It was truly all encompassing. Regarding the drugs that can be used to treat early/mild forms of the disease, although they are very toxic, how exactly do they work? What is their mechanism of action? Can we build off of these mechanisms and optimize them to create better drugs?
