Evidence that low endocytic activity is not directly responsible for human serum resistance in the insect form of African trypanosomes
<p style="text-align:justify;"> <b>Background:</b> In Trypanosoma brucei, the African trypanosome, endocytosis is developmentally regulated and substantially more active in all known mammalian infective stages. In both mammalian and insect stages endocytic activity is li...
