Abstract
Leishmania are protozoan parasites that, as amastigotes, live in the macrophages of mammalian hosts within compartments called parasitophorous vacuoles. These organelles share features with late endosomes/lysosomes and are also involved in the trafficking of several major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-encoded molecules. Improved knowledge of the parasitophorous vacuoles may help clarify how these protozoa persist in their hosts.Entities:
