...Much more research is required to determine if this is indeed the case; however, recent reports of shared stage-speci®c epitopes and biochemical properties between extracellular and intracellular epimastigotes do lend support to this view (Faucher et al., 1995; Almeida-de-Faria et al., 1999)....
