Abstract

The biology of Leishmania parasite is an excelent model to study biochemical and physiological aspects of parasite-host interaction. The present project consists of 4 sub-projects that intend to study biochemical and physiological aspects of that interact, with special emphasis on the macrophase infection. (AU)
