The role of leishmania proteophosphoglycans in sand fly transmission and infection of the Mammalian host. [PDF]
, 2012 Leishmania are transmitted by the bite of their sand fly vector and this has a significant influence on the virulence of the resulting infection. From our studies into the interaction between parasite, vector, and host we have uncovered an important ...

The role of surface glycoconjugates in Leishmania midgut attachment examined by competitive binding assays and experimental development in sand flies [PDF]
, 2013 SUMMARY Binding of promastigotes to the sand fly midgut epithelium is regarded as an essential part of the Leishmania life cycle in the vector. Among Leishmania surface molecules putatively involved in attachment to the sand fly midgut, two GPI-anchored ...

"Leishmania infantum" : molecular analysis for identification of potential virulence factors and genes of diagnostic use [PDF]
, 2004 Leishmania infantum is the causative agents of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis, a fatal disease if left untreated. In Southern Europe, the number of HIV/Leishmania infantum co-infections is increasing and becomes an emerging concern for the public health.

Is it time to revise the nomenclature of Leishmania?
, 2010 Leishmania is notable for a large number of described species. Molecular phylogenies of Leishmania have increasingly suggested that the number of species could be too large.

Inhibition of trypsin expression in Lutzomyia longipalpis using RNAi enhances the survival of Leishmania [PDF]
, 2009 Background Leishmania parasites must overcome several barriers to achieve transmission by their sand fly vectors. One of the earliest threats is exposure to enzymes during blood meal digestion.

Visualization of Leishmania tropica Infection in BALB/c Mice by Bioluminescence Imaging
Iranian Biomedical Journal, 2020 Background: Leishmania tropica is the cause of more than one form of leishmaniasis and lacks a known reservoir animal. This study compares the potential infectivity of recombinant and wild-type L. tropica in BALB/c mice.
