Leishmania-Mediated Inhibition of Iron Export Promotes Parasite Replication in Macrophages

Leishmania parasites infect macrophages, cells that play an important role in organismal iron homeostasis. By expressing ferroportin, a membrane protein specialized in iron export, macrophages release iron stored intracellularly into the circulation. Iron is essential for the intracellular replicati...
