Check out our newest paper, where we show that hybridisation can be detected in #trypanosomes by comparing maxicircle genotype to #VSG and minicircle repertoire. #HAT #Tbrucei #parasites journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…

Kay et al show how nuclear and mitochondrial genomes are inherited when trypanosomes mate and use these signatures of hybridization to detect mating in archival populations of African trypanosomes. @BristolTryps plos.io/3oLCj0H

Excited to share @RSocPublishing #ProcB review on how and why insect hosts regulate the density of their obligate, intracellular symbionts. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… Congrats Mathilda Whittle on 1st paper from PhD! @FleurPonton @AMGBarreaux @mbbonsall @BristolBioSci @MQBiology

Please check out our new paper that uses scRNAseq on T. brucei from tsetse to profile the elusive sexual stage parasites. Was wonderful to collaborate with @BristolTryps on this project started many moons ago with @marakat lab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@LifeSciWestmin We've been doing some really cool work on tsetse immune genes and associations with trypanosomes and endosymbionts with my PhD student Calam Bruce and project students...watch this space! @BristolTryps And tabanids and blood parasites with Oriel Thekisoe pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28502276/

With image analysis and expression of cell fusion protein HAP2, Lori Peacock et al. demonstrate that production of haploid gametes is sequential in Trypanosoma brucei cells from the salivary glands of tsetse flies. @BristolTryps nature.com/articles/s4200…

Sex and parasites! Cool new research from the @BristolTryps team showing that trypanosomes 'do' sex in a different way to the textbook model. News: bristol.ac.uk/biology/news/2…

Trypanosome parasites have sex, but not in the way you'd expect... #parasites #science #openaccess #sleepingsickness bristol.ac.uk/news/2021/apri… via @BristolUni

What happens during meiosis in trypanosomes? We discuss production of gametes and meiotic intermediates in our latest paper in @CommsBio! #trypanosoma #parasites #meiosis @BristolBioSci @nresearchnews nature.com/articles/s4200…

Fascinating talk from @MacGregor_Lab this afternoon, on the identification of surface protein targets for the treatment of trypanosomiasis. Welcome to Bristol, and we look forward to all the exciting work to come! #trypanosoma #parasites #VSG #proteins @BristolBioSci

A massive congratulations to our very own Kate Cook @Kate11372375, who passed her #MSc viva with flying colours today! Thanks to Bill Wickstead and @ExpEcoCons for examining😁 Time to celebrate! 🥳 #trypanosomes #minichromosomes

Mitochondrial DNAs have helped us study of the movement of animal populations 🐂🐄🚶 For the first time we examine the #trypanosome #maxicircle, to uncover historical events in our #parasites' #evolution rdcu.be/cb2uV @BMC_series @BristolBioSci #parasite #trypanosoma

Hot off the press! Mitochondrial DNAs provide insight into #trypanosome phylogeny and molecular evolution rdcu.be/cb2uV @BioMedCentral @BMC_series @SpringerNature @BristolBioSci #parasitology #trypanosoma #sciencetwitter

Everyone at @BristolBioSci is getting in the festive spirit! 🎅🎄 Here's to the 12 (Biology) Days of Christmas 🎶☃️ youtu.be/hS-DJAOP9mQ #TwelveDaysOfChristmas #Biology @BristolUni

Delighted to see our TrypanoGEN paper in the American Journal of Human Genetics: the fruits of a fantastic collaboration across 9 countries. @annette_macleod @MacLeod_Group @GenTrypano @CellPressNews @UofGMVLS @IBAHCM sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The puns! The puns!! 😂🤣

“it's good to see that an old foe - African sleeping sickness - is still on target for elimination as a #publichealth problem in 2020” Wendy Gibson @BristolTryps recommends paper by @Daniel_Argaw_D et al. on human African #trypanosomiasis #sleepingsickness facultyopinions.com/prime/73799690…
