The metabolism of Leishmania donovani in culture [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1954 Lei8hnmnia donovani, the organism causing visceral leishmaniasis, is a small, round or ovoid body measuring 2-5 g. in diameter, which occurs exclusively within cells of the reticulo-endothelial system of its mammalian host. In culture, or in the insect vector, the parasite exists in a flagellate leptomonad form. In the case of L. tropica in culture, it

Adenine and adenosine salvage in Leishmania donovani [PDF]
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2013 6-aminopurine metabolism in Leishmania is unique among trypanosomatid pathogens since this genus expresses two distinct routes for adenine salvage: adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) and adenine deaminase (AAH). To evaluate the relative contributions of APRT and AAH, adenine salvage was evaluated in Δaprt, Δaah, and Δaprt/Δaah null mutants of L ...
