The developmental hierarchy and scarcity of replicative slender trypanosomes in blood challenges their role in infection maintenance

The development of Trypanosoma brucei in its mammalian host is marked by a distinct morphological change as replicative “slender” forms differentiate into cell cycle arrested “stumpy” forms in a quorum-sensing-dependent manner.
