Abstract
Acetylcholine and its receptors appeared in evolution before development of a nervous system. Cholinergic agonists functions include proliferation, differentiation, and cell-to-cell contact in protozoa] as well as vertebrate cells. Animal models for infection by Apicomplexan parasites require cell-to-cell contact followed by differentiation of parasite and host cells to produce clinical disease. Experimental infections are produced by introducing parasite infected leukocytes into a host. Binding cholinergic receptors on the parasites and leukocytes with levamisole HCl induces non-progressive infections and absence of signs of disease.
