Leishmania major drives host phagocyte death and cell-to-cell transfer depending on intracellular pathogen proliferation rate

Abstract excerpt

The virulence of intracellular pathogens relies largely on the ability to survive and replicate within phagocytes but also on release and transfer into new host cells. Such cell-to-cell transfer could represent a target for counteracting microbial pathogenesis. However, our understanding of the underlying cellular and molecular processes remains woefully insufficient. Using intravital 2-photon microscopy of...
