Abstract
Trypanosoma brucei is a protozoan parasite that causes African Sleeping Sickness in humans and nagana, a wasting disease in cattle. T. brucei is endemic in sub-Saharan Africa and completes its life cycle in two hosts, mammals and the tsetse fly insect vector. Both the insect and mammalian forms of the parasite need fatty acids to anchor their surface proteins.
