Leishmaniacell surface prohibitin: role in host-parasite interaction
2 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
Proteins selectively upregulated in infective parasitic forms could be critical for disease pathogenesis. A mammalian prohibitin orthologue is upregulated in infective metacyclic promastigotes of Leishmania donovani, a parasite that causes visceral leishmaniasis.
