How do parasites evade immune clearance? A structural perspective

Training course in the life sciences listed on ELIXIR's TeSS training portal, run by European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI), online on 14 October 2026. Parasites frequently replicate in environments in which they are constantly exposed to the molecules and cells of our immune systems. For example, African trypanosomes live freely in our serum and tissue spaces. Even intracellular parasites, such as those that cause malaria, place parasite-derived proteins onto their host cells.
