Endosymbiosis in Monoxenous Trypanosomatids: Biological and Metabolic Aspects

Endosymbiosis is a necessary process in eukaryotic evolution, yet the steps leading to full integration remain poorly understood. Trypanosomatids provide a comparative framework to study this transition through two independent systems representing distinct levels of integration. Strigomonadinae comprises a subfamily de...
