A novel A2 allele found in Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi Novo alelo do gene A2 descrito em Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi [PDF]
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a widely spread zoonotic disease. In Brazil the disease is caused by Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi. Peridomestic sandflies acquire the etiological agent by feeding on blood of infected reservoir animals, such as ...

Transmission of Leishmania infantum from cats to dogs [PDF]
Leishmania infantum infection in cats has been reported in several countries, including Brazil. However, the transmission of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) from cats to another host has not been proven yet. Therefore, the aim of this study was to verify the

Beyond the Active Site: First-In-Class Leishmania Infantum Trypanothione Reductase Dimerization Disruptors as Antileishmanial Leads. [PDF]
This review outlines a pioneering strategy to inhibit Leishmania infantum trypanothione reductase by disrupting its dimer interface. From peptides to small‐molecule proteomimetics, multiple chemotypes achieved potent enzymatic inhibition and notable cellular antileishmanial activity, highlighting a new therapeutic paradigm.

Leishmania donovani is the only cause of visceral leishmaniasis in East Africa; previous descriptions of L. infantum and "L. archibaldi" from this region are a consequence of convergent evolution in the isoenzyme data [PDF]
Isoenzyme-based studies have identified 3 taxa/species/'phylogenetic complexes' as agents of visceral leishmaniasis in Sudan: L. donovani, L. infantum and "L. archibaldi". However, these observations remain controversial.
