Sphingolipid Degradation in Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012
Human leishmaniasis is caused by more than 20 Leishmania species and has a wide range of symptoms. Our recent studies have demonstrated the essential role of sphingolipid degradation in the virulence of Leishmania (Leishmania) major, a species responsible for localized cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Old World.
