Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of Chagas diseases depends on an effective invasion of host cells, intracellular differentiation and proliferation for its survival inside the mammalian host. T. cruzi presents is characterized by two distinct forms in the mammalian host: the trypomastigotes, the infective form and the amastigote, the replicative form. The amastigogenesis, the differ…
Invasion of mammalian cells by T. cruzi trypomastigotes is a multi-step and complex process involving several adhesion molecules, signaling events and proteolytic activities. Although the mechanism of trypomastigotes interaction with mammalian cells has been intensively studied, a final and integrated picture of the signal transduction mechanisms involved remains to be elucidated.
