Split-Cre-mediated GFP expression as a permanent marker for flagellar fusion of Trypanosoma brucei in its tsetse fly host by Ruth Etzensperger, Mattias Benninger, Berta Pozzi, Ruth Rehmann, Arunasalam Naguleswaran, Gabriela Schumann, Jan Van Den Abbeele, Isabel Roditi

“…We showed that cells that acquired the second half Cre through flagellar fusion were permanently modified and that the cells and their progeny constitutively expressed GFP. When tsetse flies were co-infected with N-Cre and C-Cre cells, GFP-positive trypanosomes were observed in the midgut and proventriculus 28–34 days post-infection. …”
