Antileishmanial Activities of Carvacrol Nanoencapsulate in Biopolymeric Nanoparticles

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 22, Issue 9, September 2025.
The study obtained biopolymeric nanoparticles containing carvacrol (NPCar) and evaluated their anti‐leishmanial activity. NPCar obtained presented physicochemical characteristics due to its ideal nanometric size and zeta potential, and low polydispersity index.

Refined structure of the lipophosphoglycan of Leishmania donovani. [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1992
The primary structure of the major surface glycoconjugate of Leishmania donovani parasites, a lipophosphoglycan, has been further characterized. The repeating PO4-6Galp beta 1-4Man disaccharide units, which are a salient feature of the molecule, are shown to terminate with one of several neutral structures, the most abundant of which is the branched ...

Early suppression of lymphoproliferative response in dogs with natural infection by Leishmania infantum. [PDF]

, 1999
Dogs are the domestic reservoirs of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania infantum. Early detection of canine infections evolving to clinically patent disease may be important to leishmaniasis control.

Induction of apoptosis by zerumbone isolated from Zingiber zerumbet (L.) Smith in protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani due to oxidative stress

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2016
In the present context of emergence of resistance aligned with the conventional anti-leishmanial drugs and occasional treatment failure compelled us to continue the search for replaceable therapeutic leads against Leishmania infection.

Characterisation of Casein Kinase 1.1 in Leishmania donovani Using the CRISPR Cas9 Toolkit

BioMed Research International, 2017
The recent adaptation of CRISPR Cas9 genome editing to Leishmania spp. has opened a new era in deciphering Leishmania biology. The method was recently improved using a PCR-based CRISPR Cas9 approach, which eliminated the need for cloning.

Atypical Manifestations of Old World Cutaneous Leishmaniasis: A Systematic Review and Clinical Atlas of Unusual Clinical and Specific Anatomical Presentations

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) represents the most common form of leishmaniasis. It imposes a significant medical burden due to long‐lasting ulcers and disfiguring scars, underscoring the need for comprehensive CL control strategies, particularly in endemic regions.

Evolutionary and geographical history of the Leishmania donovani complex with a revision of current taxonomy.

, 2007
Leishmaniasis is a geographically widespread severe disease, with an increasing incidence of two million cases per year and 350 million people from 88 countries at risk. The causative agents are species of Leishmania, a protozoan flagellate.

Deprivation of L-Arginine Induces Oxidative Stress Mediated Apoptosis in Leishmania donovani Promastigotes: Contribution of the Polyamine Pathway

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
The growth and survival of intracellular parasites depends on the availability of extracellular nutrients. Deprivation of nutrients viz glucose or amino acid alters redox balance in mammalian cells as well as some lower organisms.

Outer Membrane Vesicles as a Versatile Platform for Vaccine Development: Engineering Strategies, Applications and Challenges

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are nanosized vesicles naturally secreted by Gram‐negative bacteria and represent a promising platform for vaccine development. OMVs possess inherent immunostimulatory properties due to the presence of pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), providing self‐adjuvanting capabilities and the ability to ...

Limited effectiveness of high-dose liposomal amphotericin B (AmBisome) for treatment of visceral leishmaniasis in an Ethiopian population with high HIV prevalence. [PDF]

, 2011
Due to unacceptably high mortality with pentavalent antimonials, Médecins Sans Frontières in 2006 began using liposomal amphotericin B (AmBisome) for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) patients in Ethiopia who were severely ill or positive for human ...
