Trypanosoma brucei brucei: A comparison of gene expression in the liver and spleen of infected mice utilizing cDNA microarray technology

摘要

Trypanosoma brucei brucei, the infectious agent of the disease known as Nagana, is a pathogenic trypanosome occurring in Africa, where it causes significant economic loss to domesticated livestock. Although many studies on the histopathology of organs of mice infected with T. b. brucei have been reported, little work has been done regarding gene expression in these organs in infected mice.
