Editorial: Host/Parasite Molecular and Cellular Interactions in the Establishment and Maintenance of Protozoan Infections
Year: 2022
Type: editorial
Abstract: Introduction Protozoan parasites cause several human and veterinary diseases such as leishmaniasis, malaria, trypanosomiasis, toxoplasmosis, trichomoniasis and amebiasis, resulting in considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly affecting low-income countries. To stablished successful infections in their hosts, protozoan parasites have developed a wide range of strategies. However, despite being of critical importance, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying host/parasite interactions are still not well understood. This is a provisional file, not the final typeset article (Chadha and Chadee, 2021). Additionally, Galindo and colleagues describe the role of E. 132 histolytica ESCRT-I complex in vesicular trafficking and phagocytosis, as well as, the molecular 133 relationship with other phagocytosis-involved molecules (Galindo et al., 2021). The authors also 134 demonstrate that phagocytosis is an important step in the mechanism of aggression by E. histolytica
