ABSTRACT Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as one of the most critical global health challenges, undermining the clinical efficacy of existing antibiotics and threatening modern therapeutic strategies. The ongoing misuse and overuse of antimicrobial agents have accelerated the evolution of resistant bacterial strains and parasites ...

Activity of anti-cancer protein kinase inhibitors against Leishmania spp.
OBJECTIVES: There is an urgent need to develop new and effective treatments for poverty-related neglected diseases. In light of the time required to bring a new drug to market and the cost involved (10-15 years, >1 billion US$), one approach to ...

Transmission of cutaneous leishmaniasis by sand flies is enhanced by regurgitation of fPPG [PDF]
Sand flies are the exclusive vectors of the protozoan parasite Leishmania, but the mechanism of transmission by fly bite has not been determined nor incorporated into experimental models of infection.

The outcome of Leishmania infections is determined by both the parasite species and the host genetic makeup. While much has been learned regarding immune responses to this parasite, our knowledge on parasite-derived factors is limited.

Cysteine protease B is considered crucial for the survival and infectivity of the Leishmania in its human host. Several microorganism pathogens bind to the heparin-like glycosaminoglycans chains of proteoglycans at host-cell surface to promote their ...

Ethanolic extracts from leaves, stems, and roots of Schinus weinmanniifolia Mart. ex Engl. were evaluated for phytochemical composition and biological activities. The extracts exhibited antioxidant, photoprotective, and antimicrobial activity, without hemolytic effects or cytotoxicity at active concentrations. Syringic acid, epicatechin, and rutin were

Synthetic glycovaccine protects against the bite of leishmania-infected sand flies
Leishmaniasis is a vectorborne disease transmitted to human and other mammalian hosts by sand fly bite. In the present study, we show that immunization with Leishmania mexicana promastigote secretory gel (PSG) or with a chemically defined synthetic ...

Heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferases (CPT) are indispensable for dolichol synthesis and protein N‐glycosylation in most eukaryotes. The catalytic subunits are strongly conserved throughout evolution, in contrast to the evolutionarily variable accessory subunits. The POC1 protein from Paramecium tetraurelia is the smallest identified CPT‐accessory subunit
