title: Lost but not forgotten.
abstract: During its developmental transformation in the mammalian host, Trypanosma cruzi discards it flagellum into the cytoplasm of the host cell. In the current issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Kurup and Tarleton (2014) exploit the antigens made available by this process to develop a more effective vaccine strategy.
