Zusammenfassung:[...]groups alter their movements when they sense other parasites nearby. [...]development into late procyclics might promote elevation of cAMP at the flagellum tip, which would be the inhibitory trigger. In closing, studies of social motility and quorum sensing have provided insight into trypanosome developmental biology and signal transduction, illustrating the value of considering these parasites in the context of microbial social behavior concepts.
