Apoptosis induced by parasitic diseases

Anne-Lise Bienvenu, Elena Gonzalez-Rey, Stephane Picot Parasites & Vectors 2010, 3:106 (17 November 2010)

This article is part of a collection on Protozoan parasites and...

Deciphering the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of parasitic diseases may help to open new doors for increasing life expectancy. Our paper reviews human cell apoptosis during parasitic diseases and discusses how the countering of host apoptosis could be considered as a target for new anti-parasitic drugs.

Erythropoietin and its receptors in the brainstem of adults with fatal falciparum malaria
