Alice in microbes' land: adaptations and counter-adaptations of vector-borne parasitic protozoa and their hosts

10 Jul 2016

Abstract excerpt

In the present review, we aim to provide a general introduction to different facets of the arms race between pathogens and their hosts/environment, emphasizing its evolutionary aspects. We focus on vector-borne parasitic protozoa, which have to adapt to both invertebrate and vertebrate hosts. Using Leishmania, Trypanosoma and Plasmodium as main models, we review successively (i) the adaptations and...
