Brain Involvement in Leishmaniasis
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 ...

Emerging Role for the PERK/eIF2α/ATF4 in Human Cutaneous Leishmaniasis. [PDF]
Leishmania parasites utilize adaptive evasion mechanisms in infected macrophages to overcome host defenses and proliferate. We report here that the PERK/eIF2α/ATF4 signaling branch of the integrated endoplasmic reticulum stress response (IERSR) is ...

Structurally optimized analogs of the retrograde trafficking inhibitor Retro-2cycl limit Leishmania infections. [PDF]
In infected mammalian cells, Leishmania parasites reside within specialized compartments called parasitophorous vacuoles (LPVs). We have previously shown that Retro-2, a member of a novel class of small retrograde pathway inhibitors caused reduced LPV ...

ABSTRACT American tegumentary leishmaniasis (ATL) affects the skin and mucous membranes, with a spectrum shaped by Th1/Th2 responses. This study investigated inflammasome activation in correlation with macrophage subpopulations, tissue parasitism, and histological changes in cutaneous and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis. We assessed inflammasome activation,
