Impairment of hepato‐intestinal homeostasis triggered by ST2 deficiency during T. cruzi infection. Within the splenic compartment, immune dysregulation is marked by a robust pro‐inflammatory polarization of the T‐cell landscape. In the liver, ST2 deficiency is associated with hepatocellular injury, increased parasite burden, and hyperalbuminemia ...

Can cutaneous leishmaniasis provoke a resurgence of kala-azar in the Indian subcontinent?
Background The ongoing kala-azar elimination program in Nepal is based on the assumption of anthroponotic transmission of the protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani. This parasite species was recently also found in lesions of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL)

Glycobiology of Leishmania donovani.
Leishmania donovani, the causative organism of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is one of the deadliest of the entire known Leishmania species. This protozoan parasite displays immense adaptability to survive under extremely harsh conditions. Cell surface glycoconjugates play a pivotal role in parasite virulence and infectivity.

Spermine-NBD as Fluorescent Probe for Studies of Polyamine Transport System in Leishmania Donovani [PDF]
This study describes the synthesis of fluorescent probes as potential substrates for the polyamine transport system (PTS) of Leishmania donovani. A competitive radioassay was used to determine the most efficient probe.

The need for a reliable method for the immunological diagnosis of kala-azar is imperative. Leishmania donovani donovani and L. donovani chagasi culture promastigotes were compared as antigens in a direct agglutination test (DAT) for the diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil.

Activity of anti-cancer protein kinase inhibitors against Leishmania spp.
OBJECTIVES: There is an urgent need to develop new and effective treatments for poverty-related neglected diseases. In light of the time required to bring a new drug to market and the cost involved (10-15 years, >1 billion US$), one approach to ...

"Leishmania infantum" : molecular analysis for identification of potential virulence factors and genes of diagnostic use [PDF]
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.

Hamster inoculated intraperitoneally with 1 x 10(7) parasites of L. donovani and L. major-like of the New World were studied in groups of 15, 30, 60 and 90 days of infection. The parasite load and density showed progressive increase with the evolution of
