The antioxidant response favors Leishmania parasites survival, limits inflammation and reprograms the host cell metabolism.
The oxidative burst generated by the host immune system can restrict intracellular parasite entry and growth. While this burst leads to the induction of antioxidative enzymes, the molecular mechanisms and the consequences of this counter-response on the life of intracellular human parasites are larg...
