Parasites & Vectors, 2012 Background Sand flies are the only biologically adapted vectors of Leishmania parasites, however, a possible role in the transmission of Leishmania has been proposed for other hematophagous ectoparasites such as ticks.

Boundary behaviours of Leishmania mexicana: a hydrodynamic simulation study [PDF]
, 2018 It is well established that the parasites of the genus Leishmania exhibit complex surface interactions with the sandfly vector midgut epithelium, but no prior study has considered the details of their hydrodynamics. Here, the boundary behaviours of motile Leishmania mexicana promastigotes are explored in a computational study using the boundary element

Compressed AFM-IR hyperspectral nanoimaging of single Leishmania parasites [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Infrared hyperspectral imaging is a powerful approach in the field of materials and life sciences. However, the extension to modern sub-diffraction nanoimaging still remains a highly inefficient technique, as it acquires data via inherent sequential schemes.

A Calcium- and GTP-Dependent Transglutaminase in Leishmania infantum
Veterinary Sciences, 2023 While human and animal leishmaniasis affect several millions of people worldwide, L. infantum is the species responsible for visceral leishmaniasis in Europe, Middle East, and America. Antileishmanial drugs present issues associated with drug toxicity and increasing parasite resistance.

A nationwide survey of Leishmania infantum infection in cats and associated risk factors in Italy
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019 Though scantly investigated, Leishmania infantum infection and clinical cases of leishmaniasis in cats have been recently reported in several countries of the Mediterranean basin, with large variability in prevalence data.

Structure of tyrosine aminotransferase fromLeishmania infantum [PDF]
Acta Crystallographica Section F Structural Biology Communications, 2014 The trypanosomatid parasiteLeishmania infantumis the causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL), which is usually fatal unless treated. VL has an incidence of 0.5 million cases every year and is an important opportunistic co-infection in HIV/AIDS. Tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT) has an important role in the metabolism of trypanosomatids, catalyzing

Experimental infection and transmission of Leishmania by Lutzomyia cruzi (Diptera: Psychodidae): Aspects of the ecology of parasite-vector interactions. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017 Several parameters should be addressed before incriminating a vector for Leishmania transmission. Those may include its ability to become infected by the same Leishmania species found in humans, the degree of attractiveness for reservoirs and humans and ...
