ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides novel assay systems and methods for monitoring cell invasion by protozoal parasites. The present invention further provides methods of using these assays systems to identify compounds that treat or prevent protozoal infection. The present invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions that have anit-protozoal activity and methods of treating infections.
