In vitro activity of cinnamaldehyde on Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis

Experimental Parasitology, 2022
Tegumentary leishmaniasis is an endemic disease that urgently needs new and effective treatments. L. amazonensis is one of the main species involved in the transmission of this infectious and non-contagious disease. The currently available treatments for leishmaniasis have high toxicity and vary in efficacy.

The Comparative Genomics and Phylogenomics of Leishmania Amazonensis Parasite [PDF]

open access: yesEvolutionary Bioinformatics, 2014
Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease caused by Leishmania species. Leishmania amazonensis is a New World Leishmania species belonging to the Mexicana complex, which is able to cause all types of leishmaniasis infections. The L.

Antileishmanial activity of cordiaquinone E towards Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis

International Immunopharmacology, 2021
Leishmaniasis is caused by several protozoan species of Leishmania, and being endemically present in 98 countries around the world, it is also a severe public-health problem. The available antileishmanial drugs are toxic and yet present risks of recurrent infection. Efforts to find new, effective, and safe oral agents for the treatment of leishmaniasis

Detection of Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis and Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi in Brazilian bats

Veterinary Parasitology, 2010
Although bats are one of the most abundant mammals in the new world and are present in virtually all ecosystems, including urban and peri-urban environments, few studies have investigated the role of these animals in the epidemiological chain of leishmaniosis.

Characterization of Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis promastigotes resistant to pentamidine

Experimental Parasitology, 2008
Pentamidine is a second-line agent used in the treatment of leishmaniasis and its mode of action and mechanism of resistance is not well understood. It was previously demonstrated that transfection of promastigotes and amastigotes with the ABC transporter PRP1 gene confers resistance to pentamidine.

Biochemical characterization of serine transport in Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2009
In addition to its role as a protein component in Leishmania, serine is also a precursor for the synthesis of both phosphatidylserine, which is a membrane molecule involved in parasite invasion and inactivation of macrophages, and sphingolipids, which are necessary for Leishmania to differentiate into its infective forms.
