Interactions between Leishmania braziliensis and Macrophages Are Dependent on the Cytoskeleton and Myosin Va
Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease with no effective vaccines. Actin, microtubules and the actin-based molecular motor myosin Va were investigated for their involvement in Leishmania braziliensis macrophage interactions. Results showed a decrease in the association index when macrophages...
