Babesia and Red Cell Invasion
Description
The receptors for human pathogens such as West Nile virus and babesiosis have now been identified on human red cell proteins. In addition, susceptibility to and disease progression in HIV infection has recently been correlated to both protein and carbohydrate-based blood group phenotypes. This program will discuss these new findings and present data as to how they may be targets for vaccine and drug development to prevent or treat infection and disease.
Dr. Rios did not consent to presentation capturing and recording.
