Binding of Leishmania infantum Lipophosphoglycan to the Midgut Is Not Sufficient To Define Vector Competence in Lutzomyia longipalpis Sand Flies

mSphere, 2020
The major surface lipophosphoglycan (LPG) of Leishmania parasites is critical to vector competence in restrictive sand fly vectors in mediating Leishmania attachment to the midgut epithelium, considered essential to parasite survival and development ...

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 ...

Common pathways and outliers in glucose catabolism across Trypanosomatidae

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Trypanosomatid parasites, including Trypanosoma sp., Leishmania sp., Phytomonas sp., and Vickermania sp., share a common motif: a metabolism built around the glycosome, a unique peroxisome‐derived organelle housing the first steps of glycolysis. Yet, these organisms have evolved remarkably diverse strategies to catabolize glucose, excreting distinct ...

Leishmania infantum induces high phagocytic capacity and intracellular nitric oxide production by human proinflammatory monocyte [PDF]

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz
BACKGROUND The mechanism of resistance to SbIII in Leishmania is complex, multifactorial and involves not only biochemical mechanisms, but also other elements, such as the immune system of the host.

Ethanolic extract of Croton blanchetianus Ball induces mitochondrial defects in Leishmania amazonensis promastigotes [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2020
Leishmaniasis is a neglected disease caused by Leishmania. Chemotherapy remains the mainstay for leishmaniasis control; however, available drugs fail to provide a parasitological cure, and are associated with high toxicity. Natural products are promising

Systemic treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
This systematic review and meta‐analysis assessed systemic treatments for cutaneous leishmaniasis across 83 studies and 4603 patients. Treatment efficacies of meglumine antimoniate, miltefosine, azoles, pentamidine, and liposomal amphotericin B varied by region and species. Miltefosine showed consistent evidence across multiple settings.
