Increased transmission potential of Leishmania major/Leishmania infantum hybrids [PDF]
Development of Leishmania infantum/Leishmania major hybrids was studied in two sand fly species. In Phlebotomus papatasi, which supported development of L. major but not L. infantum, the hybrids produced heavy late-stage infections with high numbers of metacyclic promastigotes.

Plasmenylethanolamine synthesis in Leishmania major [PDF]
SummaryEthanolamine glycerophospholipids are ubiquitous cell membrane components. Trypanosomatid parasites of the genus Leishmania synthesize the majority of their ethanolamine glycerophospholipids as 1‐O‐alk‐1′‐enyl‐2‐acyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphoethanolamine or plasmenylethanolamine (PME) through the Kennedy pathway.

Comparative Gene Expression Profiles of Leishmania major and Leishmania infantum Promastigotesa
This study aimed to determine the differences between the gene expression profiles of Leismania major and Leishmania infantum promastigotes through comparative analysis of gene expressions.Cell culture of L. major (MHOM/IL/80) and L. infantum (MHOM/MA/67/ITMAP/263) cell lines was performed.

Leishmania major: Parasite Interactions Suggesting Sexuality [PDF]
In five experiments, Leishmania (Leishmania) major (MRHO/SU/59/P-strain) grew poorly when seeded in FYTS medium supplemented with 15% fetal calf serum, but presented several peculiar pairs of promastigotes diametrically opposed and attached at their ...

Mixed Mucosal Leishmaniasis Infection Caused by Leishmania tropica and Leishmania major [PDF]
ABSTRACT Mixed infections with different Leishmania species could explain differences in the clinical courses of these infections. On identification of Leishmania parasites from Iranian patients with mucosal leishmaniasis (ML), a patient with both oral and nasal lesions was found to

Treatment Outcome of the Drug-resistant Zoonotic Cutaneous Leishmaniasis by Glucantime
Background: Resistance of Leishmania species to antimonial drugs has increased. Hence, in the present study Leishmania major isolates were collected from patients with resistance phenotype and the presence/absence of resistance to Glucantime was ...
