Entamoeba histolytica: Lipid rafts are involved in adhesion of trophozoites to host extracellular matrix components

Adhesion is an important virulence function for Entamoeba histolytica, the causative agent of amoebic dysentery. Lipid rafts, cholesterol-rich domains, function in compartmentalization of cellular processes. In E. histolytica, rafts participate in parasite-host cell interactions; however, their role...
