Surface antigen cross-linking triggers forced exit of a protozoan parasite from its host. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1996 We used the common fish pathogen Ichthyophthirius multifiliis as a model for studying interactions between parasitic ciliates and their vertebrate hosts. Although highly pathogenic, Ichthyophthirius can elicit a strong protective immune response in fish after exposure to controlled infections. To investigate the mechanisms underlying host resistance, a
