Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.In this study, we developed giant plasma membrane vesicles (GPMVs) from Leishmania amazonensis promastigote membranes to investigate the role of protein‐embedded membranes in methylene blue (MB) photooxidation. Upon MB photoactivation in model lipid membranes (giant unilamellar vesicles, GUVs), a distinct photooxidation effect was observed, marked by ...

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.Abstract Background and Objectives According to the World Health Organization, more than 1 billion people are at risk of leishmaniasis in over 89 countries. Environmental changes such as deforestation, urban expansion and climate change facilitate the spread of sand fly vectors and reservoirs, increasing disease transmission.

Species structure of sand fly (Diptera: Psychodidae) fauna in the Brazilian western Amazon
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2009 We surveyed areas of the state of Rondônia in western Amazon for phlebotomine, which are potential vectors of leishmaniasis. A total of 5,998 specimens were captured, resulting in the identification of 48 species within the Lutzomyia (99.98%) and ...

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 119, Issue 2, Page 437-446, February 2026.Post‐kala‐azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) involves a high macrophage burden in which the Leishmania parasites reside. Liposomal amphotericin B (LAmB) plays a key role in the treatment of PKDL. The mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) is crucial in the distribution of liposomal drugs as well as the leishmaniasis pathophysiology.

Arginase activity in pathogenic and non-pathogenic species of Leishmania parasites
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017 Proliferation of Leishmania (L.) parasites depends on polyamine availability, which can be generated by the L-arginine catabolism and the enzymatic activity of arginase (ARG) of the parasites and of the mammalian hosts.

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Trypanosomatids are protozoan parasites that remain a global health challenge due to the limited efficacy, safety, and durability of current treatments. Acetate: succinate CoA transferase (ASCT), together with succinyl‐CoA synthase (SCS), forms the ASCT/SCS cycle that fuels ATP production and generates acetate, a central metabolic intermediate
