Leishmania-specific surface antigens show sub-genus sequence variation and immune recognition. [PDF]
A family of hydrophilic acylated surface (HASP) proteins, containing extensive and variant amino acid repeats, is expressed at the plasma membrane in infective extracellular (metacyclic) and intracellular (amastigote) stages of Old World Leishmania ...

Evidence for regulated expression of Telomeric Repeat-containing RNAs (TERRA) in parasitic trypanosomatids [PDF]
The Telomeric Repeat-containing RNAs (TERRA) participate in the homeostasis of telomeres in higher eukaryotes. Here, we investigated the expression of TERRA in Leishmania spp.

Embryos extract from germinated yellow soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill) inhibits promastigotes form of Leishmania amazonensis [PDF]
We investigated the effect of extracts of the germinated seeds of yellow soybean cultivar BRS 258 (Glycine max [L.] Merrill) against Leishmania amazonensis promastigotes. The yellow soybean embryos extract (YSEE) was fractionated on a Sephacryl S-100 gel
