Heterogeneities in leishmania infantum infection : using skin parasite burdens to identify highly infectious dogs [PDF]
Background: The relationships between heterogeneities in host infection and infectiousness (transmission to arthropod vectors) can provide important insights for disease management.

Structures of the Leishmania infantum polymerase beta [PDF]
Protozoans of the genus Leishmania, the pathogenic agent causing leishmaniasis, encode the family X DNA polymerase Li Pol β. Here, we report the first crystal structures of Li Pol β. Our pre- and post-catalytic structures show that the polymerase adopts the common family X DNA polymerase fold. However, in contrast to other family X DNA polymerases, the

Evolutionary and geographical history of the Leishmania donovani complex with a revision of current taxonomy. [PDF]
Leishmaniasis is a geographically widespread severe disease, with an increasing incidence of two million cases per year and 350 million people from 88 countries at risk. The causative agents are species of Leishmania, a protozoan flagellate.

"Leishmania infantum" : molecular analysis for identification of potential virulence factors and genes of diagnostic use [PDF]
Leishmania infantum is the causative agents of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis, a fatal disease if left untreated. In Southern Europe, the number of HIV/Leishmania infantum co-infections is increasing and becomes an emerging concern for the public health.

Background Neutrophils play an immunomodulatory role through the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). NETs are released in response to Leishmania infection, but the mechanism of NET extrusion has not been elucidated.

Final comments on an interesting taxonomic dilemma: Leishmania infantum versus Leishmania infantum chagasi [PDF]
: donot forget the law of priorityfl (Dantas-Torres 2006) Œ onthe concise review article of Lainson and Rangel (2005)has emerged as the basis of an interesting debate on theaetiological agent of American visceral leishmaniasis, i.e.,the taxonomic dilemma concerning its correct nomen-clature.
