Great to see this new work published from @GuyOldrieve and @KeithRMatthews @edin_eid showing how the parasites that cause sleeping sickness can spread beyond their native Africa as a result of mutations to key genes

Mechanisms of life cycle simplification in African trypanosomes biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
A huge effort from @GuyOldrieve exploring how monomorphic trypanosomes can escape dependence on tsetse for their transmission and what it tells us about mechanisms of stumpy formation.

Our new study led by @scotomorph @MarquesCata We used Nanopore sequencing to map DNA replication across the whole T. brucei genome, revealing partitioning that drives instability for immune evasion @KathrynCrouch81 @emmabriggs6

Can you store your trypanosome scRNA samples by freezing and still preserve their transcriptome? Yes you can! And you can map their cell cycle while you're at it.

And that leads us nicely to a group photo (the first of many, we're sure) of the #SALTTz attendees in the glorious Arusha sunshine!

Our paper is out in @BiologyOpen. Comparing closely related non-pathogenic trypanosomes, we highlight differential investment in cell-surface genes and predict this is associated with the life histories of their hosts and vectors journals.biologists.com/bio/… @KeithRMatthews

A tough task in lockdown to cover this enormous topic but Eleanor Silvester & @Frank_Venter rose to the challenge.

Two closely related trypanosomes: one of bovines spread by tabanid flies, one of ovines spread by sheep keds. Why? There's only one way to find out...

Pretty chuffed to see this being published - just a formal write up of some of the COVID modelling work we were doing in early 2020
(many thanks to nescafe double choc mocha packs for getting me through the writing)
