title: Electrophysiology and immunity of the mucosa in intestinal infections.
abstract: We present here some of the major concepts and approaches to study the electrophysiology of the intestinal mucosa, and review the pathophysiology of intestinal infections caused by enteropathogenic bacteria, protozoa--especially our own work on experimental amebiasis using intestinal preparations mounted in the Ussing chamber--and nematodes, and finally discuss briefly the immunophysiology of the intestinal mucosa.
