Innate Immunity to NIAID Category B Protozoa: This RFA invites applications for research projects to discover the cellular/molecular/biochemical mechanisms by which the mammalian innate immune system responds to the food and waterborne protozoa classified as NIAID Category B Priority Pathogens http://www2.niaid.nih.gov/Biodefense/bandc_priority.htm (Cryptosporidium parvum, Cyclospora cayetanensis, Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica, Toxoplasma, and Microsporidia). The rational development of adjuvants and immunotherapeutics to eukaryotic diseases will require a basic understanding of the underlying novel innate immune responses to these complex pathogens. This RFA will advance our understanding of the mechanisms of action by which the mammalian innate immune system reacts to eukaryotic pathogens and produces a protective response.
