Leishmania (Leishmania) mexicana Infection in Wild Rodents from an Emergent Focus of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Yucatan, Mexico

Journal of Tropical Medicine, 2022
In 2015, emergent cases of localized cutaneous leishmaniasis (LCL) were reported in Tinum, Yucatan, Mexico. As part of an eco-epidemiological study to characterize the elements that trigger Leishmania infection in that area, we conducted a field study to

The proinflammatory activity of recombinant serum amyloid A is not shared by the endogenous protein in the circulation.

, 2010
OBJECTIVE: Elevated serum levels of the acute-phase protein serum amyloid A (SAA) are a marker for active rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and SAA can also be found in the tissues of patients with active RA.

Proteomic analysis of Leishmania mexicana differentiation

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2004
We have resolved the proteome of axenically differentiated Leishmania mexicana parasites by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE), employing optimised, robust and reproducible procedures, and visualised (by silver staining) approximately 2000 protein species in each of three developmental stages: procyclic promastigotes, metacyclic promastigotes ...

Contribution of microscopy for understanding the mechanism of action against trypanosomatids [PDF]

, 2018
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has proved to be a useful tool to study the ultrastructural alterations and the target organelles of new antitrypanosomatid drugs.

Structural basis of secreted acid phosphatase polymerization in the Leishmania parasite

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Enzymes that assemble into filaments typically transition between protomeric and polymeric states in response to cellular conditions. In contrast, the secreted acid phosphatase (SAP) of Leishmania, one of the most abundant extracellular glycoproteins produced by the parasite and regarded as a major virulence factor in the neglected tropical ...

Nitric oxide production by Peromyscus yucatanicus (Rodentia) infected with Leishmania (Leishmania) mexicana

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2013
Peromyscus yucatanicus (Rodentia: Cricetidae) is a primary reservoir of Leishmania (Leishmania) mexicana (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae). Nitric oxide (NO) generally plays a crucial role in the containment and elimination of Leishmania.

Gene editing and scalable functional genomic screening in Leishmania species using the CRISPR/Cas9 cytosine base editor toolbox LeishBASEedit

eLife, 2023
CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing has revolutionised loss-of-function experiments in Leishmania, the causative agent of leishmaniasis. As Leishmania lack a functional non-homologous DNA end joining pathway however, obtaining null mutants typically requires ...

Peptides as a Therapeutic Alternative Against Leishmaniasis: A Scoping Review

Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
This scoping review of 79 studies identified 231 antimicrobial peptides with anti‐Leishmania activity, including natural‐derived and synthetic peptides (inspired by natural sources or developed through rational design). Most were evaluated in vitro against promastigote and/or amastigote forms, with synthetic peptides showing a more promising effect ...

Antiprotozoal activity of flavonoids from Eupatorium arnottianum [PDF]

, 2017
Dichloromethane and ethanol extracts of Eupatorium arnottianum were evaluated for invitroleishmanicidal activity. The dichloromethane extract produced 80% and 85% of growthinhibition on both Leishmania mexicana and Leishmania amazonensis promastigotes ...
