As such there is intense interest in understanding the molecular basis of infection by these pathogens-not only with regard to their clinical relevance but also the fascinating biology they reveal. For most of the parasites discussed here the ability to penetrate biological barriers and/or to establish intracellular residence is critical to survival of the pathogen in the mammalian hosts. For other parasites, a tissue invasive phenotype is a key virulence determinant. In the ensuing 18 chapters, select members of this diverse set of protozoan parasites, as well as some examples of the extremely reduced fungal parasites classified as Microsporidia, are discussed within the context of the fascinating molecular strategies employed by these organisms to migrate across biological barriers and to establish residence within target host cells. 0aMEDICINE.14aBIOMEDICINE.24aBIOMEDICINE GENERAL.1 aSoldati-Favre, Dominique.eeditor.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z9780387782669 0aSubcellular Biochemistry,x0306-0225 ;v4740uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-78267-6zVer el texto completo en las instalaciones del CICY
