Development of a LAMP assay for detection of Leishmania infantum infection in dogs using conjunctival swab samples [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Leishmania infantum infections in dogs play a crucial role in the transmission of pathogens causing visceral leishmaniasis to humans in the Gansu province, northwest China. To be able to control zoonotic transmission of the parasite to humans,

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

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 ...

The first detection of Leishmania major in naturally infected Sergentomyia minuta in Portugal [PDF]

, 2013
Phlebotomine sandflies of the genus Sergentomyia are widely distributed throughout the Old World. It has been suggested that Sergentomyia spp are involved in the transmission of Leishmania in India and Africa, whereas Phlebotomus spp are thought to be ...

Carbon Dioxide Assimilation by Leishmania donovani [PDF]

Nature, 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.

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,

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).

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.

Natural Leishmania donovani/Leishmania aethiopica hybrids identified from Ethiopia

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2011
Natural hybridization events have been demonstrated between closely and distantly related Leishmania groups despite a predominantly clonal and endogamically sexual mode of reproduction. Here we report the first natural hybrid between Leishmania aethiopica and Leishmania donovani, as evidenced from the analysis of several clones from strain MHOM/ET/94 ...
