Features of host cell invasion by different infective forms of Trypanosoma cruzi [PDF]

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1999
Through its life cycle from the insect vector to mammalian hosts Trypanosoma cruzi has developed clever strategies to reach the intracellular milieu where it grows sheltered from the hosts' immune system.

Three types of Leishmania mexicana amastigotes: Proteome comparison by quantitative proteomic analysis

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Leishmania is the unicellular parasite transmitted by phlebotomine sand fly bite. It exists in two different forms; extracellular promastigotes, occurring in the gut of sand flies, and intracellular, round-shaped amastigotes residing mainly in vertebrate

In Vitro Antileishmanial Effects of Saffron Compounds, Crocin and Stigmasterol, on Iranian Strain of Leishmania major (MHOM/IR/75/ER)

Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2021
Background: Due to numerous side effects of common drugs in treatment of leishmaniasis, new therapeutic approaches focus on herbal compounds. Therefore, we aimed to determine the effect of crocin and stigmasterol on in-vitro growth of promastigotes and ...

Common pathways and outliers in glucose catabolism across Trypanosomatidae

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Trypanosomatid parasites, including Trypanosoma sp., Leishmania sp., Phytomonas sp., and Vickermania sp., share a common motif: a metabolism built around the glycosome, a unique peroxisome‐derived organelle housing the first steps of glycolysis. Yet, these organisms have evolved remarkably diverse strategies to catabolize glucose, excreting distinct ...

Peptide‐Enabled Nanoplatforms for Malaria and Leishmaniasis: From Intracellular Targeting to Translational Diagnostic Perspectives

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Peptide‐enabled nanoplatforms offer multifunctional strategies for the treatment and diagnosis of malaria and leishmaniasis. Liposomal, polymeric, and metallic nanocarriers, together with cell‐penetrating peptides and parasite‐derived mimotopes, can improve targeted drug delivery, stability, bioavailability, and intracellular localization.

Synthesis and Evaluation of Peptoid‐Based Compound Libraries as Inhibitors of Parasite Metallo‐Aminopeptidases

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 17, 14 September 2026.
Evaluation of two libraries of peptoid‐based compounds for inhibitory activity against PfA‐M1 from Plasmodium falciparum, TcLAP from Trypanosoma cruzi, and LmLAP from Leishmania major reveals the crucial role of hydrophobic interactions in the inhibition process of these parasite metallo‐aminopeptidases.
