Parasites & Vectors, 2019 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.

Miltefosine induces metacaspase and PARP genes expression in Leishmania infantum
Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2011 Objectives: Apoptosis is the process of programmed cell death (PCD) that occurs in both animal and plant cells. Protozoan parasites possess metacaspase and these caspase-related proteases could be involved in the PCD pathways in these organisms ...

Increased transmission potential of Leishmania major/Leishmania infantum hybrids [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology, 2007 Development of Leishmania infantum/Leishmania major hybrids was studied in two sand fly species. In Phlebotomus papatasi, which supported development of L. major but not L. infantum, the hybrids produced heavy late-stage infections with high numbers of metacyclic promastigotes.
