    Single-cell RNA-seq reveals trans-sialidase-like superfamily gene expression heterogeneity in Trypanosoma cruzi populations

    Lucas Inchausti, Lucia Bilbao ... Pablo Smircich
    Transcriptomic heterogeneity in infective-stage surface proteins of Trypanosoma cruzi, particularly trans-sialidase-like superfamily members, suggests distinct expression profiles among individual parasites that may enhance immune evasion and infection adaptability.
