The term “antigenic variation” has been widely used to describe a phenomenon in which, during infection of the final host by what is taxonomically considered a single species of pathogenic protozoa, there arises a succession of parasite populations, each recognized as antigenically different by the host’s immune response. This results in the formation of antibodies, specific for each population, which are demonstrable by tests recognizing surface antigens of the parasite or parasitized cell such as agglutination and lysis.
