Comparison of Bloodmeal Digestion and the Peritrophic Matrix in Four Sand Fly Species Differing in Susceptibility to Leishmania donovani. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The early stage of Leishmania development in sand flies is closely connected with bloodmeal digestion. Here we compared various parameters of bloodmeal digestion in sand flies that are either susceptible (Phlebotomus argentipes and P.

Synthesis, Electrochemistry, In Vitro Antiprotozoal Efficacy and Mechanistic Study of Novel ‘Ferrantoin’ and Related Derivatives

Applied Organometallic Chemistry, Volume 40, Issue 7, July 2026.
1,2‐Disubstituted ferrocene analogues bearing hydantoin or rhodanine synthons were synthesised and assessed for antitrypanosomatid activity. An antileishmanial early lead, analogue 23, acting through ROS generation and hence oxidative stress, was uncovered.

Glyoxalase I gene deletion mutants of Leishmania donovani exhibit reduced methylglyoxal detoxification. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:Glyoxalase I is a metalloenzyme of the glyoxalase pathway that plays a central role in eliminating the toxic metabolite methyglyoxal. The protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani possesses a unique trypanothione dependent glyoxalase system ...

Clinical and Diagnostic Considerations in Laryngeal Leishmaniasis: A Systematic Review

OTO Open, Volume 10, Issue 3, July-September 2026.
Abstract Objective Laryngeal leishmaniasis is a rare, insidious manifestation of Leishmania infection with potential for life‐threatening complications. Awareness is critical for efficient and timely diagnosis. This systematic review of laryngeal leishmaniasis focuses on presentation, treatment, and the role of serological studies in the work up of ...

Paromomycin: Uptake and resistance in Leishmania donovani [PDF]

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2009
Paromomycin is currently in phase IV clinical trials against leishmaniasis. In the present work we elucidate the effect and mechanism of uptake of paromomycin in Leishmania donovani. The in vitro sensitivities of both promastigotes and amastigotes were determined to this aminoglycoside. Association of paromomycin with L.

Elucidation of DNA Primase as a Drug Target in Leishmania donovani: Structure‐Guided Inhibitor Identification and Biochemical Validation

Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 108, Issue 1, July 2026.
Structure‐guided and biochemical analyses indicate that DNA primase of Leishmania donovani represents a potential therapeutic target, as repurposed compounds, particularly Pritelivir, demonstrate marked inhibitory effects accompanied by reduced parasite proliferation, replication, and altered cellular morphology in in vitro and cell‐based studies ...

Thymus and Leishmania at the Crossroads: Autoimmunity and Cancer

Immunology, Volume 178, Issue 3, Page 377-386, July 2026.
Conceptual ‘Crossroads Model’ linking Leishmania, thymic infection and immune dysregulation: an integrative model is proposed in which Leishmania infection disrupts thymic architecture and stromal–thymocyte interactions. These alterations converge to promote defective tolerance, increased autoimmune risk and a microenvironment permissive to malignant ...

The development of L. major, L. donovani and L. martiniquensis, Leishmania currently emerging in Europe, in the sand fly species Phlebotomus perniciosus and P. tobbi.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
BackgroundSeveral new species of Leishmania have recently emerged in Europe, probably as the result of global changes and increased human migration from endemic areas.

Significantly lower anti-Leishmania IgG responses in Sudanese versus Indian visceral leishmaniasis.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
BackgroundVisceral leishmaniasis (VL), a widely distributed systemic disease caused by infection with the Leishmania donovani complex (L. donovani and L. infantum), is almost always fatal if symptomatic and untreated.
