Abstract:
The establishment of axenic cultures of the amastigote stage of Leishmania is important to understand the mechanisms regulating the differentiation, survival and pathogenicity of the parasite with a view to develop and identify molecular and chemotherapeutic targets. Recent developments in axenic culture and the characterization of amastigotes of different species of Leishmania are discussed.
