Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2004 A major impediment to vaccine development against infections caused by protozoan parasites such as Plasmodium falciparum and Trypanosoma is the extraordinary ability of these parasites to rapidly change their surface molecules, a phenomenon known as antigenic variation.

Stress-Dependent Expression of a Polymorphic, Charged Antigen in the Protozoan Parasite Entamoeba histolytica [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2003 ABSTRACT We have identified a novel stress inducible gene, Ehssp1 in Entamoeba histolytica , the causative agent of amebiasis. Ehssp1 belongs to a polymorphic, multigene family and is present on multiple chromosomes. No homologue of this gene was found in the NCBI database.

Recombination-driven generation of the largest pathogen repository of antigen variants in the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2016 The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, causative agent of Chagas disease, depends upon a cell surface-expressed trans-sialidase (ts) to avoid activation of complement-mediated lysis and to enhance intracellular invasion. However these functions alone fail to account for the size of this gene family in T.

B-Cell Response during Protozoan Parasite Infections
Journal of Parasitology Research, 2012 In this review, we discuss how protozoan parasites alter immature and mature B cell compartment. B1 and marginal zone (MZ) B cells, considered innate like B cells, are activated during protozoan parasite infections, and they generate short lived plasma ...

Rapid Diagnosis of Intestinal Parasitic Protozoa, with a Focus on Entamoeba histolytica
Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, 2009 Entamoeba histolytica is an invasive intestinal pathogenic parasitic protozoan that causes amebiasis. It must be distinguished from Entamoeba dispar and E.
