Study of in vitro biological activity of thiazoles on Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 2020
In the prospection of possible agents against neglected diseases, thiazole compounds are presented as promising candidates and are known to have activity against trypanosomatid parasites. Thus, this work aimed to evaluate the effects of thiazole compounds on Leishmania infantum, the aetiological agent of visceral leishmaniasis.Thiazole compounds (five ...

Serological and molecular survey of Leishmania parasites in apparently healthy dogs in the West Bank, Palestine

Parasites & Vectors, 2012
Background Canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) is caused by Leishmania infantum in all Mediterranean countries. The Leishmania parasite is transmitted by the bite of a corresponding sand fly vector and primarily maintained in nature by wild and domestic ...

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

Efficient and Rapid Arylation of NH₂‐Unprotected Bromobisindole Ethanamines via Suzuki‐Miyaura Coupling: Generating New Leads Against Leishmania

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A library of novel bisindole derivatives was synthesized through an optimized rapid Suzuki‐Miyaura coupling reaction, utilizing NH2‐unprotected bromobisindole ethanamines and boronic acids with yields up to 93%. The compounds were screened for their activity against L. infantum promastigotes.

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

Seroprevalence and spatial distribution of canine leishmaniasis in an endemic region in Brazil: how has the situation changed after 10 years?

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical
INTRODUCTION: Herein, we assessed the seroprevalence and spatial distribution of Leishmania infantum in dogs in Garanhuns, Northeastern Brazil. METHODS: Sera samples (n = 242) were analyzed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

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 ...
