Mechanisms of life cycle simplification in African trypanosomes biorxiv.org/content/10.110… A huge effort from Guy Oldrieve exploring how monomorphic trypanosomes can escape dependence on tsetse for their transmission and what it tells us about mechanisms of stumpy formation.

Been doing some real science today

When I said someone in my lab was in our culture hood my daughter thought it was a science equivalent of the ‘neighbourhood’. We were cool for a very brief period. #gangstalab

Well done to all involved! “Matched with the colourful and comedically timed lighting designed by Rebecca Matthews.” #prouddad theatrescotland.co.uk/2024/09/28/a-d…

I’ve made it to 50000 unread emails 🏅🏅🏅

I’m now findable on @keithrmatthews.bsky.social

Discover how non-tsetse transmitted trypanosomes lose the ability to make stumpy forms (and adapt to the monomorphic life style) and so can spread outside Africa. Read it via the link available via @[email protected]

Great to see this new work published from Guy Oldrieve and Keith Matthews @edin_eid showing how the parasites that cause sleeping sickness can spread beyond their native Africa as a result of mutations to key genes edinburgh-infectious-diseases.ed.ac.uk/news-and-event…

It's been an honour to take over from LSTM and keep this tsetse colony going at The Roslin Institute. The Liam Morrison group has some very exciting research plans for 2025!

It is a great honour to invite you to a symposium to celebrate the career of Mark Carrington. An exciting set of talks for anyone fascinated by trypanosomes!

Dream job alert! SPPIRIT Network British Society for Parasitology Postdoc job with the amazing Joana at Biology at York . Amazing mentor, cool project, and lovely place to live and work.

biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We've previously looked at the developmental biology of trypanosome infections in mice, but parastaemias are unnaturally high in mice compared to cattle. Read what happens in cattle when blood parasitaemias are low and so quorum sensing may be limited...
