    Evidence for the Existence of a Surface Receptor(s) for Ferriclactoferrin and Ferrictransferrin Associated with the Plasma Membrane of the Protozoan Parasite Leishmania donovani

    Previous work has demonstrated the ability of the promastigote form of the protozoan parasite Leishmania chagasi to utilize iron chelated to lactoferrin and transferrin for growth and metabolism. We have obtai...
