Lipids in Entamoeba histolytica: Host-Dependence and Virulence Factors
Lipids are essential players in parasites pathogenesis. In particular, the highly phagocytic trophozoites of Entamoeba histolytica, the causative agent of amoebiasis, exhibit a dynamic membrane fusion and fission, in which lipids strongly participate; particularly during the overstated motility of t...
