摘要：

Researchers who study human pathogens are often interested in unique and essential aspects of the biology of the pathogen. Recent progress has been made in understanding such a target in kinetoplastid parasites. The paraflagellar rod is a unique cytoskeletal structure that plays a key role in the life-cycle of these fascinating organisms. This review discusses the protein components and structure of the paraflagellar rod and its function in cell motility.
