Structural basis of ligand selectivity in FAD/NAD(P)H‐dependent dehydrogenases: insights from trypanothione reductase and type II NADH dehydrogenase

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract FAD/NAD(P)H‐dependent dehydrogenases form a structurally conserved family of redox enzymes that participate in essential metabolic processes across parasites and higher organisms. Among them, trypanothione reductase (TR) is a key component of the redox metabolism of Leishmania species and represents an attractive target for antileishmanial ...

Thymus and Leishmania at the Crossroads: Autoimmunity and Cancer

Immunology, Volume 178, Issue 3, Page 377-386, July 2026.
Conceptual ‘Crossroads Model’ linking Leishmania, thymic infection and immune dysregulation: an integrative model is proposed in which Leishmania infection disrupts thymic architecture and stromal–thymocyte interactions. These alterations converge to promote defective tolerance, increased autoimmune risk and a microenvironment permissive to malignant ...

Are insecticide-impregnated dog collars a feasible alternative to dog culling as a strategy for controlling canine visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil?

, 2004
In a zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis (ZVL)-endemic area in Brazil, deltamethrin-impregnated collars (DMC) were fitted to 136 dogs for 5 months and significantly reduced the odds of increasing their anti-Leishmania antibody titer during this period by 50%
