Abstract:SummaryThe protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi has a complicated dual-host life cycle, and starvation can trigger transition from the replicating insect stage to the mammalian-infectious nonreplicating insect stage (epimastigote to trypomastigote differentiation). Abundance of some mature RNAs derived from its mitochondrial genome increase during culture starvation of T. cruzi for unknown reasons. Here we examine T. cruzi mitochondrial gene expression in the mammalian intracellular replicating life stage (amastigote),… Show more
