“…Because of their role in actin cytoskeleton modulation, GTPases belonging to the Rho family are involved in infection by many intracellular pathogens [ 40 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 58 , 59 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 ], including several apicomplexan parasites, such as Plasmodia [ 72 , 73 , 74 , 75 ], T. gondii [ 76 , 77 ], C. parvum [ 78 , 79 ] and Theileria annulata [ 80 ]. Moreover, several commercially available inhibitors of Rho GTPases have shown in vitro efficacy against intracellular pathogens, including bacteria [ 81 , 82 ], viruses [ 83 , 84 ] and protozoan parasites [ 85 , 86 ].…”
