👉 A trypanosomatid is a type of parasitic nematode that lives in the cells of certain animals, such as mammals and birds. These parasites are responsible for causing diseases such as malaria and Trypanosoma cruzi, which can also cause severe complications if not treated promptly. The term "trypanosomacidal" refers to a method used to kill or remove trypanosomes, or parasitic worms that infect the cells of these animals.
