The actin-based machinery ofTrichomonas vaginalismediates flagellate-amoeboid transition and migration across host tissue
26 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
Trichomonas vaginalis is the most widespread non-viral pathogen of the human urogenital tract, infecting ∼ 3% of the world's population annually. At the onset of infection the protist changes morphology within minutes: the flagellated free-swimming cell converts into the amoeboid-adherent stage. The molecular machinery of this process is not well studied, but is thought to involve actin reorganization. We have...
