The Role of Cytoplasmic mRNA Cap-Binding Protein Complexes in Trypanosoma brucei and Other Trypanosomatids. [PDF]
, 2017 Trypanosomatid protozoa are unusual eukaryotes that are well known for having unusual ways of controlling their gene expression. The lack of a refined mode of transcriptional control in these organisms is compensated by several post-transcriptional ...

Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis Infection in Mice Treated With FTY720
Transplantation Proceedings, 2010 In transplantation, parasite diseases are transmitted from the donor, or appear as de novo infections, or activate from a dormant insource as a consequence of immunosuppression. Clinical findings have shown that an intact immune system is crucial to prevent recurrence of Leishmania infection.

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2021 Lutzomyia longipalpis is the natural vector of Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum, but it is also permissive for several Leishmania species that are related to cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). Maranhao State (Northeast of Brazil) is endemic for CL and has the

Fusion between Leishmania amazonensis and Leishmania major parasitophorous vacuoles: live imaging of coinfected macrophages. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010 Protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania alternate between flagellated, elongated extracellular promastigotes found in insect vectors, and round-shaped amastigotes enclosed in phagolysosome-like Parasitophorous Vacuoles (PVs) of infected mammalian ...

Iron metabolism in trypanosomatids, and its crucial role in infection. [PDF]
, 2010 Iron is almost ubiquitous in living organisms due to the utility of its redox chemistry. It is also dangerous as it can catalyse the formation of reactive free radicals - a classical double-edged sword.

Inhibition of Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis growth and infectivity by aureobasidin A [PDF]
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2007 To study the effect of aureobasidin A, an inhibitor of inositol phosphorylceramide (IPC) synthase, on Leishmania growth and infectivity.Effects of aureobasidin A were determined for: (i) promastigote growth in axenic culture; (ii) promastigote infectivity in macrophage monolayers; (iii) development of footpad lesions in BALB/c mice; (iv ...

Arginase expression modulates nitric oxide production in Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis
PLOS ONE, 2017 Arginase is an enzyme that converts L-arginine to urea and L-ornithine, an essential substrate for the polyamine pathway supporting Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis replication and its survival in the mammalian host. L-arginine is also the substrate of macrophage nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2) to produce nitric oxide (NO) that kills the parasite ...
