Resumen:
Trypanosomatids are a monophyletic group of protozoa that diverged early from the
eukaryotic lineage, constituting valuable model organisms for studying variability in
different highly conserved processes including protein synthesis. Moreover, several species
of trypanosomatids are causing agents of endemic diseases in the third world. There are
many evidences suggesting that translation in these organisms shows important differences
with that of model organisms such as yeast and mammals. These unique features, which
have a great potential relevance for both basic and applied research, will be discussed in this
chapter.
