Intracellular parasitism of macrophages by Cryptococcus
… cells (especially macrophages), thus acting as intracellular parasites. This intracellular phase is thought to underlie the ability of the pathogens to remain latent for long periods of time within infected individuals. Here, we demonstrate that cryptococci can also manipulate host macrophages …

The role of the P28 multigene family in the pathogenesis of Ehrlichia chaffeensis infection.
… chaffeensis</i> is a gram-negative obligate intracellular bacterium which parasitizes cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage in mammals. <i>E. chaffeensis</i> possesses a unique cell wall that lacks LPS and the classical peptidoglycan found in other gram-negative bacteria. <i>Ehrlichia</i> …

A Leishmania ortholog of macrophage migration inhibitory factor modulates host macrophage responses
… pathways that are important for either intracellular parasitism or for immune evasion remains to be determined. In conclusion, the presented results indicate that a Leishmania ortholog of the cytokine MIF has the ability to activate the human MIF receptor and influence the functional …

Pathophysiology and transmission of Thelohania solenopsae in the red imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta
Thelohania solenopsae are intracellular pathogens found in the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta. These pathogens cause detrimental effects to their fire ant hosts. The present study revealed that the midgut and the meconium materials from pupating fourth instar larvae were possible …
