Patterns in age-seroprevalence consistent with acquired immunity against Trypanosoma brucei in Serengeti lions.
Trypanosomes cause disease in humans and livestock throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Although various species show evidence of clinical tolerance to trypanosomes, until now there has been no evidence of acquired immunity to natural infections. We discovered a distinct peak and decrease in age prevalenc...
