title: Listeria monocytogenes--host interaction.
abstract: Both innate and adaptive immunity against Listeria monocytogenes are essential in circumventing or fighting the disease, although there is no clear delineation of the precise role of either in listeriosis. A consistent amount of in vivo experiments have generated a complex picture over the impact of listerial infection on the hosts, and they are shortly reviewed in this paper.
