Background The heat stress suffered by Leishmania sp during its digenetic life-cycle is a key trigger for its stage differentiation. In Leishmania subgenera two classes of HSP70 genes differing in their 3' UTR were described.

Studies on the infectivity and pathogenecity of Leishmania species from Leishmaniasis diffusa and on the immune response of the host in laboratory animals [PDF]
1. The infectivity of three strains of Leishmania braziliensis pifanoi, strain V1 and V2 from Venezuela and L 15 from Brazil was studied in albino, hairless, "shaven" and "shaven" x albino mice; in hamsters, rats and guinea pigs. Rats and guinea-pigs

Structural and functional studies of Leishmania braziliensis Hsp90
The ubiquitous Hsp90 is critical for protein homeostasis in the cells, stabilizing "client" proteins in a functional state. Hsp90 activity depends on its ability to bind and hydrolyze ATP, involving various conformational changes that are regulated by co-chaperones, posttranslational modifications and small molecules.

Leishmania braziliensis enhances monocyte responses to promote anti-tumor activity [PDF]
Innate immune cells can undergo long-term functional reprogramming after certain infections, a process called trained immunity (TI). Here, we focus on antigens of Leishmania braziliensis, which induced anti-tumor effects via trained immunity in human ...

Leishmania braziliensis: Strain-Specific Modulation of Phagosome Maturation
Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis is responsible for the largest number of American tegumentary leishmaniasis (ATL) in Brazil. ATL can present several clinical forms including typical (TL) and atypical (AL) cutaneous and mucocutaneous (ML) lesions.

Identification of Serine Proteases from Leishmania braziliensis
Leishmania (V.) braziliensis is one of the most important ethiologic agents of the two distinct forms of American tegumentary leishmaniasis (cutaneous and mucosal). The drugs of choice used in leishmaniasis therapy are significantly toxic, expensive and are associated with frequent refractory infections.
