Trypanosoma brucei bloodstream form
[NO NARRATION, VISUAL ONLY]
- The video is in black and white under a microscope lens, showing two specimens of the Trypanosoma brucei parasite, a protozoan. Their shape is a long s-shaped rod, with one end being thicker and one end thinner, ending in a flagellum for motility.
The two protozoans wiggle in an s-shaped pattern in order to facilitate quick movement, moving across the field of view in the span of seven seconds.
