Developmental gene expression in Leishmania donovani: differential cloning and analysis of an amastigote-stage-specific gene.
1994-05-01
Abstract excerpt
Leishmania protozoans are the causative agents of leishmaniasis, a major parasitic disease in humans. During their life cycle, Leishmania protozoans exist as flagellated promastigotes in the sand fly vector and as nonmotile amastigotes in the mammalian hosts. The promastigote-to-amastigote transformation occurs in the phagolysosomal compartment of the macrophage cell and is a critical step for the establishment of...
