How do African trypanosomes evade complement attack?

African trypanosomes sustain chronic infections despite being constantly exposed to the host immune system. In response, these single-celled parasites of mammalian blood have evolved an extraordinary cell surface centred on extreme antigenic variation, which they use to evade adaptative immunity. Read more
