  Intracellular Parasitism by Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania
Norma Andrews, April 2007
Yale University Microbial Pathogenesis and Cell Biology		 Next Part
Lecture Overview
Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania are closely related intracellular protozoan parasites that cause serious diseases throughout the world. In the first part of this lecture, I will present background material on the biology of Trypanosoma cruzi and the history of its discovery as an important agent of human disease in Latin America. I will also discuss the main characteristics of the disease, and the current efforts to stop human transmission.
Part 1: Trypanosoma cruzi and Chagas' Disease (19:23)
