Part 3: Strategies for Cell Invasion and Intracellular Survival

Species name:Trypanosoma cruzi

The University of Maryland　Norma Andrews

In the third part of this lecture, I will discuss current work from our laboratory on mechanisms used by the intracellular parasites Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania to interact with mammalian cells. In addition to clarifying specific molecular strategies used by these parasites to infect and survive within host cells, these studies also led, in some instances, to unexpected insights on novel pathways regulating mammalian cell function.
