RESUMO

An expressed sequence tag (EST) project on the adult tsetse midgut, the major organ system for establishment and early development of trypanosomes has been undertaken. The most notable block of genes upregulated in response to trypanosome challenge are a series of Toll and Imd genes and a series of genes involved in oxidative stress responses.
