GO Term : GO:0120310 amastigogenesis GO

Namespace  biological_process Obsolete  false
Description  The morphological, biochemical and genetic changes that induce the differentiation of metacyclic parasites into amastigotes in some of the Trypanosomatidae species such as Leishmania parasites and Trypanosoma cruzi. This process occurs inside the cells of the mammalian hosts, particularly in macrophages and other phagocytic cells for Leishmania parasites.

Identifier Name Description
GO:0008150 biological_process A biological process is the execution of a genetically-encoded biological module or program. It consists of all the steps required to achieve the specific biological objective of the module. A biological process is accomplished by a particular set of molecular functions carried out by specific gene products (or macromolecular complexes), often in a highly regulated manner and in a particular temporal sequence.
GO:0044419 biological process involved in interspecies interaction between organisms Any process evolved to enable an interaction with an organism of a different species.
GO:0044111 formation of structure involved in a symbiotic process The progression of an organism from an initial condition to a later condition, occurring when the organism is in a symbiotic interaction.
GO:0044114 development of symbiont in host The progression of an organism from an initial condition to a later condition, occurring within the cells or tissues of the host organism. This may (but not necessarily) include a filamentous growth form, and also can include secretion of proteases and lipases to break down host tissue. The host is defined as the larger of the organisms involved in a symbiotic interaction.
