Intracellular Parasitism by Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania
Norma Andrews, April 2007
Yale University Microbial Pathogenesis and Cell Biology

Lecture Overview
In the second part of this lecture, I will present background material on Leishmania, the intracellular protozoan parasites responsible for severe human pathology in several parts of the world. I will discuss the main disease forms, the history of identification of the causative agent and form of transmission, and recent discoveries that established important concepts in our understanding of this increasingly serious infectious disease.
Part 2: Leishmania spp and Leishmaniasis (13:36)
