Abstract

With the rapid development of molecular biological techniques, DNA microarray has shown great advantage in biology and medicine as it allows high-throughput measurement of various biological parameters. Trypanosomiasis remains the focus among numerous human blood parasitic diseases. The DNA microarray is a useful technique for studying the trypanosome genome and parasite-host interaction, as well as for vaccine screening and drug development. This review gives an update on the application of DNA microarray in human research on Trypanosoma brucei and Trypanosoma cruzi.
