About this document

Trypanosoma: Life Cycle and Transmission by Ana is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Trypanosomatids are protozoan parasites belonging to the family Trypanosomatidae and genus Trypanosoma and Leishmania. They are transmitted by arthropod vectors and cause disease in humans and animals. Trypanosomes have an elongated cell body with a flagellum and undergo asexual reproduction. Their complex life cycles involve stages in the insect vector and mammalian host, including proliferative and infectious forms. Some species are heteroxenous, requiring more than one host to complete their life cycle.
