Paromomycin: Uptake and resistance in Leishmania donovani [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2009
Paromomycin is currently in phase IV clinical trials against leishmaniasis. In the present work we elucidate the effect and mechanism of uptake of paromomycin in Leishmania donovani. The in vitro sensitivities of both promastigotes and amastigotes were determined to this aminoglycoside. Association of paromomycin with L.

Glyoxalase I gene deletion mutants of Leishmania donovani exhibit reduced methylglyoxal detoxification. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:Glyoxalase I is a metalloenzyme of the glyoxalase pathway that plays a central role in eliminating the toxic metabolite methyglyoxal. The protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani possesses a unique trypanothione dependent glyoxalase system ...

Sorbitol‐Induced Synchronisation of Babesia duncani and Assessment of Linoleic Acid Effect on Parasite‐Derived Vesicles

open access: yesParasite Immunology, Volume 47, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Human babesiosis is an emerging infectious disease caused by a bloodborne single‐celled parasite belonging to the genus Babesia. Cases of human babesiosis are commonly reported in the United States, Western Europe and Asia. In the United States, the two major causative agents are Babesia microti and Babesia duncani.

Carbon Dioxide Assimilation by Leishmania donovani [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1960
WHILE studying the glucose metabolism of Leishmania donovani, the protozoan organism causing visceral leishmaniasis, it has been found that cell suspensions of this organism in a saline-bicarbonate buffer containing glucose can assimilate, a measurable amount of carbon dioxide along with the formation of different acidic end products1.

Identification and Characterization of miRNAs in Response to Leishmania donovani Infection: Delineation of Their Roles in Macrophage Dysfunction

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
The outcome of Leishmania infection depends on parasite abilities to evade host immune response and its survival in hostile environment of host macrophages.

Recent Insights in Multi‐Target Drugs in Pharmacology and Medicinal Chemistry

open access: yesChemMedChem, Volume 20, Issue 18, September 25, 2025.
This review highlights the rationale behind multitarget drug design as a promising approach to address diseases with complex etiologies. By combining pharmacophore features from different single‐target drugs, multitarget compounds can interact with multiple biological targets simultaneously.

Innate Immune B Cell Activation by Leishmania donovani Exacerbates Disease and Mediates Hypergammaglobulinemia

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
Participation of B cells in the immune response by various antibody-independent mechanisms has recently been uncovered. B cells producing cytokines have been described for several infections and appear to regulate the adaptive immune response.

The role of PD-1 in regulation of macrophage apoptosis and its subversion by Leishmania donovani

open access: yesClinical & Translational Immunology, 2017
Programmed death‐1 receptor (PD‐1) expressed in many immune cells is known to trigger T‐cell exhaustion but the significance of macrophage‐associated PD‐1 in relevance to macrophage apoptosis is not known.
