Vaccination with Leishmania mexicana LPG induces PD-1 in CD8+ and PD-L2 in macrophages thereby suppressing the immune response: A model to assess vaccine efficacy [PDF]
Vaccine Volume 32, Issue 11, 5 March 2014, Pages 1259-1265, 2019 Leishmania lipophosphoglycan is a molecule that has been used as a vaccine candidate, with contradictory results. Since unsuccessful protection could be related to suppressed T cell responses, we analyzed the expression of inhibitory receptor PD-1 in CD8+ and CD4+ lymphocytes and it is ligand PD-L2 in macrophages of BALB/c mice immunized with various ...

In vitro and in vivo antileishmanial efficacy of a combination therapy of diminazene and artesunate against Leishmania donovani in BALB /c mice [PDF]
Rev. Inst. Med. Trop. Sao Paulo. 2011, 53 (3): 129 - 132, 2011 The in vitro and in vivo activity of diminazene (Dim), artesunate (Art) and combination of Dim and Art (Dim-Art) against Leishmania donovani was compared to reference drug; amphotericin B. IC50 of Dim-Art was found to be $2.28 \pm 0.24 \mu$ g/mL while those of Dim and Art were $9.16 \pm 0.3 \mu$ g/mL and $4.64 \pm 0.48 \mu$ g/mL respectively.

Transient superdiffusion and long-range correlations in the motility patterns of trypanosomatid flagellate protozoa [PDF]
PLoS ONE 11(3): e0152092 (2016), 2016 We report on a diffusive analysis of the motion of flagellate protozoa species. These parasites are the etiological agents of neglected tropical diseases: leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania amazonensis and Leishmania braziliensis, African sleeping sickness caused by Trypanosoma brucei, and Chagas disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi.
