The second chapter of my PhD thesis is now available on BioRxiv #biorxivpreprint! #zebrafish #trypanosome #microscopy
Maria Forlenza@MariaFWUR3 Nov 2020
The #zebrafish-#Trypanosome model strikes again! Thanks to the transparency of zebrafish we were able to SEE the formation of foamy macrophages (fat cells) for the first time during an extracellular trypanosome infection, in vivo, in a live vertebrate host! Seeing is believing!

Last month, on the 5th of June, I successfully defended my phd thesis entitled "Visualising blood flagellates infections in transparent zebrafish" @WUR. Thank you all for the (online) support!

Ready for my talk today at the @ShefUni_IICD. Thank you @elkslab_sheff for the invitation! I realised i have a great story to tell and it is all thanks to the hard work of 2 PhDs, Eva Doro, @SemJacobs1 and 1 then BSc @ffionruth. Sorry, i have to say it....#WomenRock!

Transparent zebrafish allow scientists to watch how trypanosomes move and behave inside a host, which may hint at new ways of fighting these deadly infections in future elifesciences.org/digests/48…

Zooming in on parasites inside their host

Watching how the parasites that cause sleeping sickness swim in live transparent fish can teach us how these parasites cause disease in animals.

Our @eLife paper is out! Have you even seen how a trypanosome really swims in the blood and tissues of its vertebrate host? Have a look at our amazing high-speed videos! doi.org/10.7554/eLife.48388 @ZebrafishRock @WURanimal

Excited to share our (my first) publication! We visualise for the first time trypanosome swimming behaviour in a natural host environment. @ffionruth @MariaFWUR #zebrafish #microscopy elifesciences.org/articles/4…

Visualizing trypanosomes in a vertebrate host reveals novel swimming behaviours, adaptations and...

The transparent zebrafish reveals the reality of trypanosomes swimming in a vertebrate host, and their adaptations to an extremely heterogenic environment.
