Brain Involvement in Leishmaniasis
Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by infection with the protozoan parasite Leishmania and it is a significant global health problem. The disease has a wide clinical spectrum, from tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) that encompasses cutaneous (CL), mucosal (ML) and cutaneous‐diffuse (CDL) forms, to the potentially fatal systemic ...

Down-Regulation of TLR and JAK/STAT Pathway Genes Is Associated with Diffuse Cutaneous Leishmaniasis: A Gene Expression Analysis in NK Cells from Patients Infected with Leishmania mexicana. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016 An important NK-cell inhibition with reduced TNF-α, IFN-γ and TLR2 expression had previously been identified in patients with diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis (DCL) infected with Leishmania mexicana.

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 6, Page 1754-1770, March 2026.The Leishmania phosphatase PTP1, and possibly the genetically similar PTP2, interacts with the Leishmania transmembrane protein DUF21. When both ptp1 and ptp2 are knocked out of Leishmania (LdΔPTP1/2), the parasite can no longer survive without magnesium in vitro and has reduced viability in the host macrophage. Conversely, in duf21 knockout (LdΔDUF21),

Purification and Characterization of Proteolytic Enzymes of Leishmania mexicana mexicana Amastigotes and Promastigotes [PDF]
Microbiology, 1984 Leishmania mexicana mexicana amastigote and promastigote soluble proteinases were purified using gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. For the amastigotes, two main proteinase activity peaks were separated with both methods. These accounted for approximately 10% and 90% of the total activity.
