    Sammanfattning : Encystation of unicellular organisms is of considerable medical relevance since cysts are encapsulated byresilient cell walls, rendering them resistant to biocides and immune clearance. This survival strategymakes it complicated to produce effective treatment of diseases caused by many protozoan pathogens,e.g. LÄS MER
