Attenuation of Leishmania infantum chagasi Metacyclic Promastigotes by Sterol Depletion [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2013
ABSTRACTThe infectious metacyclic promastigotes ofLeishmaniaprotozoa establish infection in a mammalian host after they are deposited into the dermis by a sand fly vector. SeveralLeishmaniavirulence factors promote infection, including the glycosylphosphatidylinositol membrane-anchored major surface protease (MSP).

Heterogeneity of Leishmania infantum chagasi Kinetoplast DNA in Teresina (Brazil) [PDF]

The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2010
Leishmania infantum chagasi is the causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis of kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) minicircles was used to evaluate genetic profiles of 48 Leishmania infantum chagasi strains from dog and human parasite cultures, fresh collected dog ...

Inhibition of trypsin expression in Lutzomyia longipalpis using RNAi enhances the survival of Leishmania [PDF]

, 2009
Background Leishmania parasites must overcome several barriers to achieve transmission by their sand fly vectors. One of the earliest threats is exposure to enzymes during blood meal digestion.

Biodistribution of meglumine antimoniate in healthy and Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum chagasi-infected BALB/c mice [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2013
Pentavalent antimonials such as meglumine antimoniate (MA) are the primary treatments for leishmaniasis, a complex disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania . Despite over 70 years of clinical use, their mechanisms of action, toxicity and pharmacokinetics have not been fully elucidated.
