Surface enolase is a virulence factor of Leishmania amazonensis metacyclic promastigotes involved in adhesion to macrophages [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyWe find that enolase, an evolutionarily conserved and multifunctional protein, is displayed on the cell surface of Leishmania amazonensis parasites in a developmentally regulated manner, associated with infectivity.

Innate Resistance to Leishmania amazonensis Infection in Rat Is Dependent on NOS2
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Leishmania infection causes diverse clinical manifestations in humans. The disease outcome is complicated by the combination of many host and parasite factors.

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 ...

The diverse and dynamic nature of Leishmania parasitophorous vacuoles studied by multidimensional imaging. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012 An important area in the cell biology of intracellular parasitism is the customization of parasitophorous vacuoles (PVs) by prokaryotic or eukaryotic intracellular microorganisms.

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2021 Lutzomyia longipalpis is the natural vector of Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum, but it is also permissive for several Leishmania species that are related to cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). Maranhao State (Northeast of Brazil) is endemic for CL and has the

Fusion between Leishmania amazonensis and Leishmania major parasitophorous vacuoles: live imaging of coinfected macrophages. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010 Protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania alternate between flagellated, elongated extracellular promastigotes found in insect vectors, and round-shaped amastigotes enclosed in phagolysosome-like Parasitophorous Vacuoles (PVs) of infected mammalian ...
