Changes to cholesterol trafficking in macrophages by Leishmania parasites infection [PDF]

, 2017
Leishmania spp. are protozoan parasites that are transmitted by sandfly vectors during blood sucking to vertebrate hosts and cause a spectrum of diseases called leishmaniases.

Identification of internalin-A-like virulent proteins in Leishmania donovani

Parasites & Vectors, 2016
Background An active immune surveillance and a range of barriers to infection allow the host to effectively eliminate microbial pathogens. However, pathogens may use diverse strategies to subdue such host defences. For instance, one such mechanism is the

Homologous minicircles in Leishmania donovani

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2002
Leishmania minicircular deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is arranged into different classes according to sequence. These classes differ substantially in sequence, despite species- and genus-specific regions, and are present in widely different copy numbers within and between Leishmania strains.

L-Asparaginase of Leishmania donovani: Metabolic target and its role in Amphotericin B resistance

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2017
Emergence of Amphotericin B (AmB) resistant Leishmania donovani has posed major therapeutic challenge against the parasite. Consequently, combination therapy aimed at multiple molecular targets, based on proteome wise network analysis has been ...

Characterization of a Novel Putative S-Adenosylmethionine Decarboxylase-Like Protein from Leishmania donovani. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
In addition to the S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AD) present in all organisms, trypanosomatids including Leishmania spp. possess an additional copy, annotated as the putative S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase-like proenzyme (ADL).

Targeting Aurora Kinases as Essential Cell‐Cycle Regulators to Deliver Multi‐Stage Antimalarials Against Plasmodium Falciparum

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 51, December 15, 2025.
In this study, we repurposed human Aurora kinase‐specific inhibitors to identify potential antimalarial agents. Two inhibitors, hesperadin and TAE684, exhibited sub‐micromolar activity across multiple parasite stages, with hesperadin demonstrating significant potency and selectivity by specifically targeting PfArk1.

Genetic diversity of Leishmania donovani that causes cutaneous leishmaniasis in Sri Lanka: a cross sectional study with regional comparisons

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2017
Background Leishmania donovani is the etiological agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in the Indian subcontinent. However, it is also known to cause cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan L. donovani differs from other L. donovani strains,
