"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.

Leishmania amazonensis Infection in Nude Mice.
Experimental Animals, 1999 Leishmania amazonensis is an intracellular protozoan parasite of macrophages. Cutaneous leishmaniasis in an immunocompetent host begins as papules or nodules followed by ulceration at the site of promastigote inoculation. In this study, the pathological changes of cutaneous leishmaniasis lesions in T cell deficient nude mice were examined.

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 ...

BALB/c mice deficient in CD4(+) T cell IL-4R alpha expression control Leishmania mexicana load although female but not male mice develop a healer phenotype [PDF]
, 2011 Immunologically intact BALB/c mice infected with Leishmania mexicana develop non-healing progressively growing lesions associated with a biased Th2 response while similarly infected IL-4R alpha-deficient mice fail to develop lesions and develop a robust ...

Chicken blood provides a suitable meal for the sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis and does not inhibit Leishmania development in the gut [PDF]
, 2010 Background The aim of this study was to address the role of chickens as bloodmeal sources for female Lutzomyia longipalpis and to test whether chicken blood is harmful to Leishmania parasite development within the sand flies.

The diverse and dynamic nature of Leishmania parasitophorous vacuoles studied by multidimensional imaging. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012 An important area in the cell biology of intracellular parasitism is the customization of parasitophorous vacuoles (PVs) by prokaryotic or eukaryotic intracellular microorganisms.
