- Secretory organelles of pathogenic protozoa Wanderley de Souza Multidisciplinaria (Ciencias Naturales y Exactas) Apicomplexa cell secretion trypanosomatids parasitic protozoa encystation vesicles Secretory processes play an important role on the biology and life cycles of parasitic protozoa. This reviewfocus on basic aspects, from a cell biology perspective, of the secretion of (a) micronemes, rhoptries anddense granules in members of the Apicomplexa group, where these organelles are involved in the process ofprotozoan penetration into the host cell, survival within the parasitophorous vacuole and subsequent egressfrom the host cell, (b) the Maurers cleft in Plasmodium, a structure involved in the secretion of proteinssynthesized by the intravacuolar parasite and transported through vesicles to the erythrocyte surface, (c) thesecretion of macromolecules into the flagellar pocket of trypanosomatids, and (d) the secretion of proteinswhich make the cyst wall of Giardia and Entamoeba, with the formation of encystation vesicles. 2006 artículo científico 0001-3765 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=32778208 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=327 Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências application/pdf Academia Brasileira de Ciências Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.78
