Inhibition of early endosome fusion by Trypanosoma cruzi-infected macrophage cytosol

Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigotes survive inside macrophages by promoting fusion between the parasitophorous vacuole and mature host lysosomes upon internalization. Since trypomastigotes can evade the lyric pathway, the earliest steps of endocytosis, such as early endosome fusion, may be affected. T...
