| Summary |
Using as a theme the encounter between protozoan parasites and macrophages, this volume brings together cell biologists, immunologists and protozoologists to review current developments in this broad and dynamic research area. Discussed are ways protozoans establish their intracellular niche, how they activate macrophage effector functions, what these functions are, and means by which several protozoans subvert macrophage activity. What emerges is a picture of the macrophage as a key cell type in the host response to protozoan infection. How these cells respond, and how their responses can be |
