Abstract

Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense was named after Rhodesia which, in turn, was named after the British imperialist and white supremacist Cecil Rhodes. In the light of the Black Lives Matter movement and contemporary consciousness of postcolonial legacy, it seems opportune to reconsider the subspecies name. Pros and cons of renaming T. b. rhodesiense are discussed.

摘要

罗得西亚锥虫以罗得西亚命名，而罗得西亚又是以英国帝国主义者和白人至上主义者塞西尔·罗兹的名字命名的。鉴于“黑人的命也是命”运动和后殖民时代遗产的当代意识，重新考虑这个亚种的名称似乎是恰当的。本文讨论了将 T. b. rhodesiense 重新命名的利弊。
