Abstract
Procyclic forms of Trypanosoma brucei isolated from the midguts of infected tsetse flies, or freshly transformed
from a strain that is close to field isolates, do not use a complete Krebs cycle. Furthermore, short
stumpy bloodstream forms produce acetate and are apparently metabolically preadapted to adequate functioning
in the tsetse fly.
