Relationships between vector-borne parasites and free-living mammals at the Brazilian Pantanal.

abstract：:In the gastrointestinal mucosa, mucus produced by goblet cells plays an important role in the defense against various pathogens. It is well known that some helminth parasites are able to up-regulate goblet cell numbers and alter the mucus components. However, the nature of the interactions between the protozoan parasi...
