   Trypanosoma
   Genus of Protozoa that causes serious infections in humans and domestic animals. African trypanosomes, of the brucei group, are carried by Tsetse flies ( Glossina ) and, when they enter the bloodstream of the mammalian host go through a complex series of stages. Perhaps the most interesting feature is that there are recurrent bouts of parasitaemia as the parasite alters its surface antigens to evade the immune response of the host (see antigenic variation). The repertoire of antigenic variation is considerable. The S. American trypanosomes (of which T. cruzi is the best known) are carried by reduviid bugs, and cause a chronic and incurable disease (Chagas disease). Other interesting features of trypanosomes are the kinetoplast DNA and glycosomes (organelles containing enzymes of the glycolytic chain).

   `Trypanosoma` are of the class kinetoplastida, a monophyletic group of unicellular parasitic protozoa. The name is derived from the Greek `trypaô` (boring) and `soma` (body) because of their corkscrew-like motion. Trypanosomes infect a variety of hosts and cause various disease, including the fatal disease sleeping sickness in humans.

   Trypanosoma
   A genus of asexual digenetic protozoan flagellates (family Trypanosomatidae) that have a spindle-shaped body with an undulating membrane on one side, a single anterior flagellum, and a kinetoplast; they are parasitic in the blood plasma of many vertebrates (only a few being pathogenic) and as a rule have an intermediate host, a bloodsucking inverte...
