How is T. brucei brucei connected to the Mosquito FB Mk XVIII?

Both have a coating/covering that aids in their ability to evade their pursuers. "The surface of the trypanosome is covered by a dense coat of ~1x107 molecules of Variable Surface Glycoprotein (VSG)[4]. This coat enables an infecting T. brucei population to persistently evade the host's immune system, allowing chronic infection." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trypanosoma_brucei "The bulk of the Mosquito was made of custom plywoods...A covering of doped Madapolam (a fine plain woven cotton) fabric completed the unit." This bomber was built witihout gun turrets for protection. Instead, its light weight made it faster than any other plane, so it could not be shot down. In addition, it could carry 4 times the payload. "As each of the gun turrets was eliminated the performance of the aircraft continued to improve, until they realized that by removing all of them the aircraft would be so fast it would not need guns anyway. What emerged was an entirely different concept, a small twin-engined, two-crew aircraft so fast that nothing in the sky could catch it. It could carry 1,000 lb (454 kg) of bombs for 1,500 miles (2,400 km) at a speed of almost 400 mph (644 km/h), which was almost twice that of current British bombers at the time." "During testing it was demonstrated that it had the power and internal capacity to carry not just the 1000 lbs of bombs as originally specified, but four times that figure." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Mosquito Jul 11 08, 6:57 AM

Trypanosoma brucei is a parasitic protist species that causes African trypanosomiasis (or sleeping sickness) in humans. The insect vector for T. brucei is the tsetse fly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trypanosoma_brucei The de Havilland Mosquito was a British combat aircraft that excelled in a number of roles during the Second World War. Among the many variations on the plane is the Mosquito FB Mk XVIII which was known as the Tsetse. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Havilland_Mosquito Common element tsetse. Jul 11 08, 8:26 AM
