The Gwira Group
The group focuses on protozoan diseases, specifically trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis and babesiosis. Its main interest is in characterizing the trypanosome parasites causing infections in naturally infected livestock, especially cattle, in order to identify new drug targets and their modes of action against the trypanosomes. The group also works to identify certain molecular, biochemical and immunological parameters peculiar to the infection in order to aid in diagnosis of the diseases.
