Shape, form, function and <i>Leishmania</i> pathogenicity: from textbook descriptions to biological understanding

1 Sept 2017

Abstract excerpt

The shape and form of protozoan parasites are inextricably linked to their pathogenicity. The evolutionary pressure associated with establishing and maintaining an infection and transmission to vector or host has shaped parasite morphology. However, there is not a ‘one size fits all’ morphological solution to these different pressures, and parasites exhibit a range of different morphologies, reflecting the...
