PLOS ONE, 2020 Leishmaniasis has been considered as emerging and re-emerging disease, and its increasing global incidence has raised concerns. The great clinical diversity of the disease is mainly determined by the species. In several American countries, tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) is associated with both Leishmania amazonensis and L.

Leishmania (L.) amazonensis-induced inhibition of nitric oxide synthesis in host macrophages [PDF]
Microbes and Infection, 2002 Inhibition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production was demonstrated in J774-G8 macrophages infected with Leishmania (L.) amazonensis promastigotes. The downmodulation of NO production observed in infected and LPS-stimulated J774-G8 cells correlated with a reduction in inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) activity.

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.

The role of surface glycoconjugates in Leishmania midgut attachment examined by competitive binding assays and experimental development in sand flies [PDF]
, 2013 SUMMARY Binding of promastigotes to the sand fly midgut epithelium is regarded as an essential part of the Leishmania life cycle in the vector. Among Leishmania surface molecules putatively involved in attachment to the sand fly midgut, two GPI-anchored ...

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 ...

Leishmania (L.) amazonensis peptidase activities inside the living cells and in their lysates
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2012 In this study we investigated the peptidase activity in Leishmania (L.) amazonensis live amastigote by confocal microscopy using peptidyl-MCA as substrates, the hydrolysis of which releases the MCA fluorophore inside the cells. Cell pre-treatment with peptidase inhibitors indicated the presence of cysteine and serine peptidases.
