The investigation of the glycan repertoire of several organisms has revealed a wide variation
in terms of structures and abundance of glycan moieties. Among the parasites, it is possible …

Fucose is a common component of eukaryotic cell-surface glycoconjugates, generally
added by Golgi-resident fucosyltransferases. Whereas fucosylated glycoconjugates are rare …

The parasite Trypanosoma brucei exists in both a bloodstream form (BSF) and a procyclic
form (PCF), which exhibit large carbohydrate extensions on the N-linked glycans and …

Trypanosoma brucei is the causative agent of human African slee** sickness and the
cattle disease nagana. Trypanosoma brucei is dependent on glycoproteins for its survival …

Trypanosoma brucei causes African trypanosomiasis and contains three full-length
