Virulence and pathogenicity of three <i>Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense</i> stabilates in a Swiss white mouse model
Background: A key objective in basic research on human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is developing a cheap and reliable experimental model of the disease for use in pathogenesis and drug studies. Objective: With a view to improving current models, a study was undertaken to characterise the virulenc...
