Ed ecco il primo episodio della nuova serie targata Microbiologia Italia dal nome “Sotto la lente”!
In questo nuovo format andremo a scavare nel mondo dei microrganismi, approfondendoli a tutto tondo, e partiremo dai parassiti. Successivamente comunque, arriveranno anche batteri, virus, funghi, etc. perciò… non perdetevi nessun episodio!
In questo primo episodio andiamo a vedere il mondo di Trypanosoma brucei, l’agente eziologico della famosa malattia del sonno.
Buona visione!
