RIPK1–RIPK3–MLKL-Associated Necroptosis Drives Leishmania infantum Killing in Neutrophils
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Necroptosis is a pro-inflammatory cell death, which happens in the context of caspase-8 inhibition, allowing activation of the receptor interacting protein kinase 1–receptor interacting protein kinase 3–mixed lineage kinase domain-like (RIPK1–RIPK3–MLKL)

Transmission potential of paromomycin-resistant Leishmania infantum and Leishmania donovani
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2019 AbstractObjectivesFormer studies demonstrated quick selection of paromomycin resistance for Leishmania infantum and Leishmania donovani accompanied by increased fitness. The present study aimed to interpret these findings in an epidemiological context by comparing infection of WT and experimentally derived paromomycin-resistant strains in the sand fly ...

Evolutionary history of Leishmania killicki (synonymous Leishmania tropica) and taxonomic implications [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Leishmania (L.) killicki is responsible for the chronic cutaneous leishmaniasis. The taxonomic status of this parasite is still not well defined. It was suggested on one hand to include this taxon within L.

Risk factors for visceral leishmaniasis in a new epidemic site in Amhara Region, Ethiopia [PDF]
, 2009 We conducted a case-control study to evaluate risk factors for visceral leishmaniasis during an epidemic in a previously unaffected district of Ethiopia. We also collected blood and bone marrow specimens from dogs in the outbreak villages.

Prophylactic properties of a Leishmania-specific hypothetical protein in a murine model of visceral leishmaniasis [PDF]
, 2016 In this work, the effect of vaccination of a newly described Leishmania infantum antigenic protein has been studied in BALB/c mice infected with this parasite species.
